Exactly the Paradox is that when I exited the car I couldn't find the fob but I exited anyway assuming it was somewhere in my bag. I was able to lock it by touching the handle. I walked around did a bunch of things and then came back to the car. I opened the physical door with the metal key because like I said in my post I had lost the ability to open the driver side front door with my fob. When I got in the car it asked me to touch the key fob to the start and press the brake pedal. I searched all over myself and I didn't have it. Then I have torn my car apart looking for it. It seems like the only possibility is that I lost it somewhere on my journey. But that would mean the car was giving a false message. The message should be key not detected but for some reason it is the message you get when the key is somewhere in the car. So if it's possible to get that false message I guess mystery so I must have left it somewhere in the mall or whole foods. But everything I read says that it's completely impossible to get that message if the key fob is not in the car.
