Quick psa, im not mad at the customer, just annoyed and feel like posting it

I work at a car dealership in the service department. We can sometimes give people loan cars to use while we have their vehicles, and when they bring it back we have to check it in, looking for damages and items left behind. This guy walks up and says he's here to pick up his car. I see in his hand the bright pinkish/purple tag that we keep on our loan car keys, which he slips into his pocket. I say "awesome, I can check in that loan car for you. Can I get the key?" He responds with "it's in the car"...now... I can't say "I just saw you put it in your pocket" so I go out and do my visual check and [big surprise!!] the key is not in the car. So I go back to him and go "hi, so I didn't see the key in the cup holder or anything?" (they're push-to-start cars) and he pats his pockets, pulls out the key and goes "wow, you're right" like...how did you not realize that? Or check your pockets when I asked for the key?
