My key fob. I left it in my running pants. I inhaled very deeply when I saw it. I pulled it out and the water dripped from it... Needless to say, I was very sad and was headed upstairs to get my other one when, BEEP!... I pushed the BMW emblem and I heard the audible confirmation that my doors just locked. I pushed it again and they unlocked. It still worked!!! Dripping with water and everything. BMW rocks. I dried it up and am about to head to work.

Woohoo!

+1 Mel is right about the container of rice to remove moisture.. I heard this works when you do the same for cell phones.
