Even Locked your keys in the car?

[StuyMac]

Have you?

If so, how did you end up getting them back / getting in to the car?

Ive done it twice, both times in my first car, a 1.1 fiesta (everything since has had central locking)

1st time was at a treasure hunt, left them in the ignition, luckely I left the sunroof open and as the keys where in the ignition the boot open button worked - got a long stick and managed to hit the button :)

2nd time - was at the beach, and I had to call my mum to bring the spare keys to me :o

i keep locking my keys in the house!! 2 cars, 2 sets of keys, 1 front door key = jason locked out a lot!:(

But lock keys in car??? well thats just plain stupid!:)


Wow!! 555 posts!! reminds me of my injectors......... :D
that are sitting in my house waiting to be fitted.....

[Bubble]

Yeah. OK I did it once with a Granada. As soon as I had done it I thought You TW*T.:o

It was the top floor of a multi storey car park, I went down to the maket below and found some of that plastic straping they use round cardboard box's. I'm sure everyone knows that you fold it in half and insert it between the door and the door rubber and fiddle it over the lock button, then yank it up.

You didn't know that? oh sh*t, if cars go missing tonight I 'spose it's my fault then.:)

Stansted Airport 45 minutes to flight. Bags in the car :confused:

What a dumbass. Was in my Rover, suprisingly easy for a road worker to break in for me :eek:

[Actual_Ben_Taylor]

Loads of times, but then I had a mk1 Fiesta that was quicker to break into than it was to use the key...

Never locked the keys in the car but had a few anxious moments when i was locked out.

First was on my old 200. The keyfob stopped working. Tried all the locks but they were siezed and i didn't want to risk snapping the key. Went to petrol station for a new battery but it still didn't work. I wandered round to a nearby Nissan dealership but they were about as much use as a balsawood strut brace. I ended up breaking into the car and disabling the factory immobiliser. When i got home i had a look at the keyfob... turned out that one of the LED legs was snapped. If i'd bothered to look in the first place i would have been in the car in minutes.

Second time was when i lost my car keys whilst in a drunken stupour in the camp site at the Monsters of Rock festival. Eventually found my way to the police tent and asked if anyone had handed in a set of keys with "bawbag" written on them.... the policeman looked at me funny then pulled out a box full of keys. I noticed him bite his lip to keep from laughing as he pulled out my keyring with the "bawbag" badge still attached.

Yep, in my VW Golf, but it was outside my house, I keep my car keys and house keys on separate keyrings, and the spare key was inside. Lucky really :o

Locked the keys in the house once - cost me a fortune to get a locksmith out ( there's never a 12 YO scouser around when you need someone to break into your house ? )

Yeah but there's never a Tim nice but dim, Oxford law student around when you need one either, all too busy enjoying coxless fours :eek: :eek: ;)

Managed to lock the keys in the boot of my fiesta when I was at Uni in Woolwich:( (gettign the radio out of the boot put keys in, picked up radio put down jacket on keys shut boot) DOH!!!! at 3am aaaaaaaaaaghhhhh

Had to walk 3 miles to Woolwich Filth then back cause they wouldn't give me a lift:mad: they eventually get to me and let me in in 10 seconds :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[GrahamB]

Oh and went to work one morning leaving my girlfriend in bed then managed to deadlock the door on the way out oops:D :D :D

She had to call a friend to come round and then push her set through the letter box LOL:D:D:D:D:D

The alarm on my old works car used to self arm after 15 secs, and lock all the doors. It was midnight, I had 200 miles to drive, I was ina rush.

I had the car packed, started it up and was about to leave, when I realised I had the dect phone from the house, and not my mobile. I legged it back into the house, and the car locked itself, bugger :(

Engine running, lights on, and wipers on. No spare key.

RAC had to come, and the kit he used to break int it (ford focus) :eek:

Have since used the same trick as him to get into my other car at the time. I had a 520i, and left the interior light on. The next day, the battery was dead, and the doors locks on these cars have no mechanical way of unlocking, all the key barrels operate an electonic switch to unlock the doors :( Once again buggered

[JB]

Yep :rolleyes: Pulled up at a petrol station in the Safrane, got out to fill up, forgetting it had this bloody stupid auto locking on the alarm and woosh. Locked out.

Was mighty pleased it took a local yoof all of 15 seconds to break in for me :mad: :)

[Leon]

Yup, once in my beetle.

Was a case of finding a bent nail, and being creative with teh quarter light :)

[SMiFFAD]

Locked my keys in my land rover loads of times, but they are not difficult to break into, not gonna say how cos its far too easy and loads will get knicked if i do! ;)

On another note, my parents lock me out of the house on a regular basis, and are still amazed when they come home and find me inside, without a key :D - how does he do it?!

Just hope i dont lock my nissan keys in it, dont know how to break into it yet, although i can disarm the alarms in 10 seconds! (not a miss spent youth, just trying to get mine working!)

[SteveDunn]

Was on a night out with my girlfriend of the time with my renault clio, had a wicked night out. Walking back to the multistory and she asked me why i was fidgeting.

"Can't find my keys" i say panicing a bit.

Get up to the car and there they are sitting in the ignition

"Well, Shit."

Phoned RAC and after about an hour and a half they turned up, whacked the rubber thing down the side of the window and open it came.

I blame the woman.......... :D

[RichardB]

Only done it once...

Went to see my ex girlfriend who lived near York, 100 miles away from here :eek: and went to meet her in town as she was shopping. So ragged the corsa up the M1 and parked in York in a multi story car park. Got out and pushed the lock down and shut the door with the handle lifted up like I always do, just as I shut the door I noticed my keys siting on the backseat. I instantly was pissed off with myself, what a twat. Rang my girlfriend and she cponfirmed I was a twat, which made me feel loads better.

Rang the AA and cidnt know where the feck I was 100 miles from home, ddnt know how high the car park was cause the board was missing at the entrance :rolleyes: and just generally pissed off. Couldnt really ask my mum to drive 100 miles to bring the spare. The thing that really pissed me off was that I used to keep a spare in my wallet, wouldnt have been a problem, except I lost my wallet a couple of months before :mad:

AA bloke came with a door wedge and some stiff wire, made me sign a form incase he damaged anything, then he said if I am of a nervous dispersition then I should look away. He wedged the top ot the door open and just lifted the lock up with the stiff wire, took him about 30 secs to do it.

I really felt like an idiot for it, and now I try not to lock the door with the handle lifted up from the outside, I always try and use the key. When I get my 20 back I will just use the alarm remote to get in so no problems there :D

Cheers,

Richard

[Vronsky]

I admit. Once. Happened when my little one was giving me a hard time when parked beside a busy road. Closed the door, and realised at the same time the keys were inside. Called the AA. and they pushed down the window, and they lifted the boot lid opener lever using a long piece of iron, and entered the car from the boot.

[andyf]

I've locked someone else's keys in their car, does that count?

[Mike_S13]

Yup, twice while working on the 2*****:

First time: Keys in the ignition, go to reconnect the battery after charging it up - central locking kicks in and locks me out. Luckily the passenger side window was open enough to get my hand in and unlock the door

Second time (you think i'd have learned): Reconnecting the battery after fitting the AVC-R. Beeeep - alarm activates the central locking... locked out again. After walking round for a few minutes swearing a lot, i realise the boot isnt shut properly and I can get in, yay!! Took quite a bit of effort to climb through the boot and squeeze between two bucket seats though :o :D

[gaz.thomas]

Once. In a supermarket car park here in my old 205 - managed to get in using some of that binding tape that they wrap the newspaper deliveries in - folded in half down the window to hook the mechanism.

When i was working at B&Q (student...) we used to have someone locked out of their car every weekend. Got quite adept at the whole binding tape thing :D Get some funny looks though.

[The_Boy_Mac_2]

Yeah in the 200 just last week.

Its got this really gay feature that after about 30 seconds of the engine running it locks the doors for you and doesnt unlock until you turn ignition off. So was working on car, started it up, went outside to look under the bonnet - then clunk, car locked, engine running, gutted! Tried for ages to break in, went home to find spares, couldnt find em - about getting ready to smash window when old dear comes out with the spare set that she has had all along - ho!
