I've seen them a lot for rental lockers at amusement parks and such.

I'd say a locker as well. Check the area for lockers - maybe you'l find some goodies stashed!

I'm going with lawn mower. Locker keys usually have a round handle with a number on them. I may be wrong. I've seen me do it.

I'd have to agree with "partyofone" Hit up the local community parks office. Might just be one they had to get replaced and I'd bet they aint cheap. Heck, Maybe they will invite you to scan some other places??? LOL
I found more info and a pic of a similar key. "Laser cut high security key". Seems they are used in high end cars. i.e. Audi, Jaguar, Lexus. Might be a spare one that was dropped at the park I was at. There are no lockers, but a lot of basketball, tennis and ball fields. Thanks.

Way too cheaply made, and too short for a high-end car key. Also the modern car keys with the laser cut grooved keys have radio transmitter heads which are larger and thicker than the one you found.
I agree with gunsil. But I still can't find a decent image of one except for car pic one. I think maybe it is a security key for an expensive maintenance machine? I do know the key is called a "sidewinder". Maybe never will find out exactly.

I know this is an old post but that looks like a Chinese knock off of an electronic desk lock key.
