Dropped battdry hook inside engine bay

The good news is that you can go into your local auto parts store and pick up a battery hold down kit. I went to Canadian Tire and got the 10" (25 cm) for $6.49 before tax. There's a shorter 8" one, but the 10" is the right size. Each kit comes with 2.

The bad news is I still haven't found the original, though I do think it did fall into the panels underneath the bumper. Not directly behind the bumper, but past it. So, without being able to safely lift up my car, I'm not able to access to where I think it is.

When you go to sell the car before giving the keys to the new owner kick the left front tire. The battery hook will fall out of wherever it is.

Seriously the important thing is to get that battery tied down so it doesn't come loose and cause more problems.
