To unlock the Lost Item Garage in Storage Hunters: Open World, pick up the Lost Item Key under the bridge near the Farmyard, then take it to the locked garage in Back Alley and use it to open the door.
The Lost Item Garage is the locked garage in Back Alley that leads to the Scythe. The only required item is the Key, so the whole route is short as long as you do not sell the Key before opening the door.
Lost Item Garage requirements and reward
| Item or location | What to know |

| Key | Required Lost item for opening the garage; early value lists put it at about $0.38, but keep it until the door is open. |
| Farmyard bridge | The Key is found under the bridge near the Farmyard area. |
| Back Alley garage | The locked Lost Item Garage where you use the Key. |
| Scythe | The reward inside the garage; early value lists put it around $28.85, but treat that as approximate. |
Do not sell the Key until you have opened the Back Alley Lost Item Garage and collected the Scythe.

Back Alley garage location details
The garage you want is the Back Alley locked garage. It is the Lost Item Garage tied to the Scythe, and it sits near Sal and the Lost and Found container.
Do not mix it up with the Auto Dealership garage or building. That area is part of a different Lost Item route connected to the Acoustic Guitar, not the Scythe garage.
There is also a Beehive Lost item in Back Alley, near the black market or quest NPC area. That can make the area feel like it has multiple targets, but the Beehive is not the garage reward. For this unlock, the reward inside the locked garage is the Scythe.
Fixes for Key and garage problems
If you sold the Key before opening the garage, the clean fix is to get another Key before trying the door again. Players report that the Key may respawn after roughly 12 in-game hours, but that timing is based on observation and may not be exact.
Glitching into the garage is not a dependable shortcut. Some players have reported ways to enter without properly using the Key, but Scythe spawning through glitches is unreliable and unverified. If you want the Lost item to appear and count normally, open the garage with the Key.
After you get the Scythe
Once the Scythe is collected, you can safely move on from the Lost Item Garage route. Many players continue toward filling the full Lost collection after this, since the broader set includes 29 Lost items.
Finishing that Lost tab is its own route, with rewards tied to collection progress such as Diamonds, permanent Luck, and a cash bonus. For this garage specifically, though, the important loop is just Key first, Back Alley garage second, Scythe inside.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you unlock the Lost Item Garage without the Key?
Not reliably. Some players have reported glitching into the garage, but the Scythe may not spawn that way. Use the Key on the door if you want the normal unlock.
Where is the Key for the Lost Item Garage?
The Key is under the bridge near the Farmyard area. Pick it up there, then bring it to Back Alley.
What is inside the Lost Item Garage?
The reward inside the Lost Item Garage is the Scythe Lost item.
What happens if you sell the Key before opening the garage?
You will need to get the Key again before opening the garage normally. Players report a possible respawn after about 12 in-game hours, but that timing is not confirmed as exact.
Is the Back Alley garage the same as the Auto Dealership garage?
No. The Back Alley locked garage is the one tied to the Scythe. The Auto Dealership building is connected to a different Lost Item route.
