Be careful and do not forget the basic rules. Now you know how you don't need to store cold wallets.If you don't even know the basic rules of securing your wallet, you are not good with crypto.
since owner was offering $10k reward to someone who found this ''keys''.And it was announced publicly so it caught everyone's attention, this is not a fair amount of reward for just a keychain. If that happened in my country, the owner would be contacted by many random people.
I don’t know why he is trying to do that when he could easily recover it from his seed phrases and probably buy another ledger. I think he didn’t follow the instructions in the box where you could write your seed phrases already on The paper provided in the box.If someone finds it, it will be easy to blackmail him if he does not have a copy of the wallet seed, and from the advertisement, this seems to be true.
$10,000 for the return of keys in New York City. Anyone who finds a keychain near Central Park in New York City is being promised $10,000. It's all about the Ledger wallet hanging on it.
P.S. Be as vigilant as possible + write down your seed phrases. Otherwise, you can lose all your blood money. Be careful and do not forget the basic rules. Now you know how you don't need to store cold wallets.
If this is true and is not a hoax, I do hope in his last moment of thinking this over the owner decided to at least use a burner phone for this, because if that's this real number every scammer seeing that picture will think of a sim swap attack!
Also, the reward will make sure everyone who finds that key will ask himself why the hell are they worth that much, and just a Google search will give them their answer, so he might end up paying double!
The owner is willing to pay $10k, there must be more coins inside it.I think this is just a joke for crypto investors. Perhaps someone really wants to find the keys to their car and apartment, and the Ledger wallet just happened to be on the keychain.
Lots of people that time in July 4th. Maybe advertising in facebook will help him get it back but if that ledger was thrown in the garbage can already as swept by the cleaner, its lost already.
There are two people who took the number, I hope they are not scam who would call him to ask for that 10k.

~snipoIt is very true that car keys are really important. With a Hyundai car, I think it's really expensive unless it's the top end right? I just hope that $10,000 would give it back to the owner and hopefully be worth it for him.

There is also a small chance he doesn't have any backup for seed words or he lost it, but I hope that is not the real case :P

If I was the owner I would import seed words to different device and move coins asap, just in case.
I would do the same. But, I am wondering isn't it a stupid act?Stupid thing would be to do nothing, and hope for the best.

I saw people willing to pay crazy amounts for personal stuff, animals, etc and this is no exception.
There is no other reason why anyone would write real phone number on that paper.
By saying, "isn't it a stupid act?" I referred to the guy who was carrying his hardware wallet with his car key without having the backup seed phrases (Sorry for making you confused, that is because of the language barrier). How careless people could be with their money. Or probably he thought it will be better to carry his hardware wallet with him so he don't lose it. But he did not thought about the other side. Sometimes we carry important things with us all the time because we need them everyday (ID's, Credit cards for example), but I can't imagine someone use their Hardware wallet daily.I understand what you are saying but it was actually stupid from ledger to create hardware wallet that could be used on keychain, they even added additional accessories for that in package.
