Will I get My Keys Back?

We have been having problems in our bathroom recently with a leaky shower. So we called Daniel, the son-in-law of our landlord, who speaks awesome English and lives in the building next to ours. He came over a week ago maybe and took a look at it and decided he couldn't fix it. He arranged for us to have a handyman come and last night he finally did.

This was the same handyman I had try to fix our couch a while ago (see previous post on it...truly great) so I was glad to see him. Unfortunately, he couldn't fix it at the time either- he needed a new rubber washer before he could stop the leak. So Daniel suggested that I give him my keys and he would let the repairman in the next day around noon. "Well," I asked Daniel, "that sounds fine, but how am I going to get my keys back then?"

"Oh, I'll just leave them with the front desk workers for you to pick up" was his obvious response. However, I had flashbacks to the first time we tried to talk to them about our mailbox and why there was this weird colored thing on it, and it was a total and epic failure. He must have seen my face turn colors, because he assured me that he would leave a note or something. I have my doubts that this will work though. Unless his note says "There will be a crazy white girl who can't speak any Chinese needing to pick these up from you" I don't foresee this going well.

Everyone, keep your fingers crossed that I see my keys again!
