Cornholio 0 #27 November 10, 2004 I'm really confused how people do this these days... I mean you have a keyfob... you close the door... you press the lock button. The car can have autolocking, but that is stupid.. just press the damn button to lock it. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

slug 1 #28 November 10, 2004 QuoteGeez folks, take your spare key and hide it under the bumper somewhere, affixed with a wire tie or something so it won't jar loose. Oh, and wrap it in saran wrap or something to keep it clean. That technique has saved my ass several times. That way you just get a little dirty crawling under the bumper, but you don't have to wait for a locksmith to arrive, nor pay a ridiculous sum of money. I suppose now I'll have legions of skydivers crawling under my car at the DZ to find my key so they can steal the car... Forget the car, with the car unlocked they gonna go for your guns, ammo, knives, C-4, RPG's IED's etc. cars are easy to come by and trace you got the good stuff inside the car. R.i.P.

Guest #30 November 10, 2004 QuoteAAA baby! Plus I get really cool maps for free from them for my road trips, and a free tow up to 100 miles, will bring me fuel if I run out, and come change my flat. I also get some kick ass discounts on hotels using the card while out on the road. What she said... Triple-A is worth it if you drive a lot. Silly me, I was visiting my dad when my brother was there last year (first time we've all been together in 20 years!) and I locked my keys in my pickup. No prob - I called AAA on my cell phone and they had it unlocked in about 45 min... mh . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CieloDiosa 0 #31 November 10, 2004 haha i locked my keys in my car at rantoul for the first time somehow i got REAL lucky cuz when i first bought my car i couldnt get my sun roof down and so my friend tried and she ended up breakin the latch that holds it up. so from the outside of the car you can open the sun roof with ur hands cuz no latch is holding it down. well anyway jake (DA GIMP) gets this genius idea to take a tent pole and reach it thru the sun roof and hit the unlock key, BRILLIANT!!!! now everytime i lock my keys in i just whip out the swifter and unlock the doors! ~boogie ho!! pull before impact!

AggieDave 6 #35 November 10, 2004 I have a spare key for my truck in my wallet...I need to do the same for my motorcycle incase I loose the key, but with my truck, having that key has saved my ass more then once...or 6 times for that matter.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

d_squared431 0 #36 November 10, 2004 I have done it several times. It's usually in the winter when I start my truck and then go to clean off the snow. Next thing I know the doors are locked, the truck is running, and I am out in the cold looking for someone to break in for me. I tried the hide a key thing, but my friends tend to move my truck as a joke or steal the beer in the ice chest.

BGill 0 #37 November 10, 2004 a tip a locksmith told me once was to drill a hole into the top of a key then just keep it behind your license plate with one of the bolts that holds the license plate on. never tried it though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slug 1 #38 November 10, 2004 We drove together to a new years eve party with another couple and when it was time to leave the designated driver lost his keys. Someone found them in a women's hair, not his girlfriend who lost sight of him at the party. Happy new year! We even all drove home togother some of us was laughing some very.....quiet R.I.P.

nanook 1 #39 November 10, 2004 Kind of funny. The thing that sold me on the particular trim for my truck (King ranch) was the combo-push button keyless entry thingy(big time learning disability when it comes to what side of the closed door the keys belong on). I can't be locked out anymore. I have yet to actually use the key to open the door. Matter of fact, I don't know if the keyhole actually works._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingnut 0 #43 November 10, 2004 Quotereally surprised about how many people say they locked their keys in the car, engine running heck not only did my dad loch his key in his car withthe engine rnning, but he did it withthe car in drive!!!!! got stuck in our drivway in the snow and he went to get out and walk up to the house to get myself and my sister to help push himout, well since he was stopped he thought all was god, but his car ws the kind where when the doors close and it's in drive it automaticly locks.. so when he got out and shut the door , it locked....... the other key was with my mom at work and she didn't get home for a couple hours..... we piled even more now infront of the car so it wouldn't break loose.... she finally came home and we got the car freed fromthe snow........ ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peacefuljeffrey 0 #45 November 10, 2004 Yayy, the costs of your carelessness are now to be borne by all of your insurance carrier's customers. Just kidding, I know it's not intentional and everyone makes mistakes. Just this past Sunday, my friend Rebecca and I carpooled to Sebastian to skydive. She got some stuff out of her car to put into mine, and we were off. When we got back to her house, she realized she had lost her keys somewhere, and with a flashlight I spotted them through her car window, on the floor. Unable to find her spare in the house (her housemate was there to let us in), we proceeded to try to break into her '96 Honda. Let me tell you, those windows are sealed up tight. But... I'm the MAN. I used a wire coat hanger in conjunction with my Power Tool (the skydive packing tool) to pry the weatherstripping a bit (causing no damage!) and operate the power lock to open the door! It was breathtaking! -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PalletMan 0 #47 November 10, 2004 Yes, at the DZ once. Some folks there said the last time it happened, the cops were called and they came out to help. So I called the cops. A guy came with some tools. He had this thing that was a flat piece of metal with kind of a hook shape at the end and a wood handle. I think there's a name for it, but I forget it now. I went to work on the driver's side and the cop on the passenger's side. Without ever having done anything like this before it took me maybe a minute to unlock the door. Made me realize just how worthless it is to lock your car. I mean I always realized that if a thief really wanted it, they could take it but this was ridiculously simple. I didn't think it would be that easy for a newbie. --ArtSky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

Brains 2 #48 November 10, 2004 Quotereally surprised about how many people say they locked their keys in the car, engine running I leave my truck running with the doors locked all the time when i run into the store or something. No big deal, i have one key that stays in the ignition at all times and another on my key ring with the unlock key-fob thingy. I also have a hide-a-key hidden on my truck in a top secret location. And yes, that means if anyone ever needs to borrow my truck, the keys are in it, just bring back some beer when you return. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

JustaBill 0 #49 November 10, 2004 My sister borrowed my truck and locked the keys in it. Then broke the door trying to jimmy the lock. To her credit she did take the truck in and get the door fixed and the warranty covered it, which kind of shocked me. So for her birthday I buy one of those little plastic boxes to hold a spare key, take the magnets out of it and put it on a piece of string so she could wear it as a necklace. She ended up throwing it at me ------------------------------------------------ I've done so much, with so little, for so long I'm now expected to do everything with nothing forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
