did you do? I know I locked myself out of my car once when I had first not too long bought it. It was my first car with the key ring that lets you unlock the car, open the trunk, and press the alarm. I remember it was wintertime and with my mom's car, I knew you could start the car to warm it up, lock the keys in the car, and use the key ring to unlock it. I thought I would be able to do the same with my car, but was i wrong. I remember I was on my way back to college from christmas vacation, i had all my bags in the car and the music playing just waiting for it to warm up so I can take off. Once I went out to get into the car, I pulled out my trusty key ring and went to unlock the car, but nothing happened. It would not unlock or do anything. I later learned that some cars tht keyring will work while the car is running and other ones like mine for some reason when the car is running, it disables the keyring for some reason. Luckily, my father is a police officer who called one of his guys to come and unlock my car. by the time he got there and opened my door, my car was hot and my CD had begun skipping. I am just lucky I tried that at home and not anywhere else where I could've been stranded. What is your locked out story?

At least you found something to do. I know that must have sucked though thinking you were going into the house to relax and have to wait around an hour to get in. Thanks for the response.

I've locked my keys in the car plenty of times, never while is was running though, but I'm sure it'll happen eventually. I dont' know if I've ever locked myself out of the house??? I have locked myself out of the office though - for some unknown reason the door will get locked and when you close it you don't know it. That happens to us all the time.

This happened to me today as I locked myself out of my house. I locked my house and bedroom door keys in my bedroom and realized it after locking my bedroom door. I was very upset and embarrassed that I did this. I did go to work however as I had my car keys and work keys. When I returned home, my roommate let me in. I had a locksmith come and pick the lock to my bedroom. I had him make some copies made of my keys and had my locks rekeyed so I have fewer keys to deal with. He was the friendliest service person and he has great knowledge of locks.
