Lock your keys in the car?

[Deleted]

If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call
someone on your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the
other person at your home press the unlock button of your key fob
(clicker), holding it near the phone on their end. Your car doors
will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you.
Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if
you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car,
you can unlock the doors (or the trunk!).

Note - It works fine! We tried it out, and it unlocked a
car over a cell phone!

Oh my gosh I have locked myself out of the car and house too many times!
Most were when Ken was in the Army, and of course it would happen when Ken was gone to the field. I'd lock my car kes in the car.
Once I even locked my 5 month old baby in the car! Had to have the police come for that one. The police told me to call a lock smith, but then I started crying telling them my 5 month old baby was locked in the car!
Crying works everytime!
I don't have the fancy remote for my old car.
But I do keep an extra keys with me at all times!

Wish I did have a remote to my car though.
I will be sure to share this info with my family and friends who do have 'em.
Thanks for the info!
I've ad to learn the hard way.

HELLO....just get a magnetic key box from the farm store or heaven forbid WalMart. Put a spare car key and a spare house key in it and hide it somewhere outside the car/truck behind the bumper or on the frame. One fits perfectly behind the front license plate on my Chevy truck, had to put the VW keys on the frame...the bumper is plastic. Just put it where it's convenient for you and out of sight out of mind.
