Have you ever locked your keys in your car?

yes I have locked my keys in my car it was pouring down rain and my car stalled when I went through a huge puddle I was so mad that I accidently locked the car without realizing that the keys were still in it I walked 4 miles in the pouring down rain only to realize that I didnt have my keys to get in the house I had top call my husband at work when we got back to the car we had to bust out a window to get into the car I was not a happy camper

It happened to me several times. On all ocassion I tried to copy what car thieves are doing as seen on tv programs and fortunately, I was successful. But everytime I did it, I always leave small scratches and rubber lining getting loose, not being a professional. From that time on I always carry a spare key on my wallet.

i haven't experienced this thing. i was only driving for a short period and the oldest son now takes over driving for us. he is the one who always locks the key inside the car. the first time he forgot the keys inside the car, i instructed him to keep a spare key in his wallet. but again, it happened ... he left both original key and the wallet (with the spare key), inside the car! and he always does that; the last time was last month when he has to go to the beach. he spent a "good" amount for taxicab for our house helper to deliver the spare key that i always carry in my bag. I purposely keep an extra key with me and one in the house because my son always forgets the key inside the car. must be because he had undergone general anesthesia twice in the past and they say that makes one forgetful. is that true?

I have locked my keys in my car a couple of times. Fortunately, my late husband knew the right tricks to get the door open and retrieve the keys. When i was in high school, my family took an auto trip to Canada. My mother left the keys in the ignition and we all locked our doors before she realized what she did. There was no way to get the doors or windows open. We had to break one of the back windows to get inside.

I have never locked my keys in my car because I have an Infinity G37 and they dont use keys.. lol _

not at all... can that be a sign of memory gap or sign of and old age ... when we become older there is a tendency that we forget things... hmmm.... ^_^

My son once locked the keys in the car for us. I think he was three or four and he wanted to play with the car radio. When he had done, he got out and shut the door. It was one of those that, if the button was pushed down, the door was locked when it shut (no central locking). Well, of course, he had locked all the other doors (because that's what you do when you leave the car, isn't it!) and he locked the drivers door as well ... so logical! The trouble was that, in order to listen to the radio, the keys had to be in the ignition and, of course, that's where they were! We called the AA (that's our equivalent of the AAA) and they came within, I think, 15 minutes (good for a Sunday) but the AA man took at least half an hour to open it. If it had been a European car, he said, he would have had it open in about 3 seconds either with skeleton keys or by fishing with a bit of wire for the locking mechanism (and he wouldn't let me watch while he tried!) but as it was a Japanese car, its locking mechanism was not so easy (that made me feel good about Japanese cars though not so good about the current situation!) The guy warned me that he might have to do some damage to the car and fiddled with it for a good 10 minutes with bits of wire and thin lengths of metal. He finally managed to get the door open without damaging the car and I thanked the Lord that I had paid my sub to them! I think that in those days it was about £45 (about $80) a year. It's rather more now but we have always had older cars and I can't think of a year when I regretted paying that extra! These days I have a car which has central locking and electric windows. I wonder what would happen if I were unfortunate enough to drive into a river (we have rather a lot of them round here). Water shorts the electrics, so how do you open the windows to get out? Give me a pre-60's car any day. I know how everything works on those and can do most jobs myself. These days, nobody can do anything to a car without a computer!

hello tuckersheri, no i haven't experienced that yet and hopefully not. what i experienced was that i forgot to locked the window. good thing it took me just a little while in buying something from the grocery.

I guess most of us has experienced such situation. I also had my share of locking the car with the keys inside. The good thing is that I always carry with me a spare key in my wallet. So if ever I forget to take out the key and lock the car, then I have no problem at all since my spare key is always with me.

I just did this last two weeks ago! I was in such a hurry to take my daughter to school on time because she was getting her pictures taken. We had to make a quick stop for her to use the restroom. We came out and I realized we were locked out! At first I could not believe it, then when the reality hit me, I was so frustrated! It was worse when my daughter started to cry because last year she was late for her pictures and had to be cropped into the class picture. After much despair a drunk man walking through the lot came by to help me. It was funny because he was so weak I didn't think he could do it. We had to squeeze my daughter through the escalator doors (my vehicle is an old bus). It was hard but she was determined and she was so relieved when she got in.

I've never been locked out of my car with the keys in it. If I have to go out even for awhile and there's no one in the car, I would normally take the keys and locked my car. It's the safe thing to do and it has become my habit to do so. My sister, however, always locked herself out of her truck. And she too had to get the locksmith to open the truck for her and had to pay for the services.
