"Honestly, I don't care"

The way to solve this problem with key hoarding would be to have the person leave their ID at the desk until they return the key.

Yeah we do that. You actually can't sign out anything without your Student ID. Though sometimes we take you credit card or something. Most people keep their pass card with their ID. So they can't get into their room until they return the Key.

I wonder how many copies of that key there are. Honestly, some locksmiths aren't that honest.

There's Jimmy the Wonder Chimp (mentioned above). When I was in college, there was a locksmith that'd do it for $10 (this was 1982). Sure made life easier.
