Hiding someone's time machine keys never works. Chances are
he's already taken a trip to the future in which you get
kidnapped and tortured until you reveal where you hid them,
and then nipped over there to take them back. Which means
he *might* be able to avoid carrying out the actual torture
now, as long as it doesn't create too big a temporal paradox.
