Ha! i may have had a lapse in thinking long enough to lock my keys in my car but i can assure you, no one will know where i keep my key. i should have clarified that i will be posting a "general" how to and not anything specific. but then again, i might not post it. we shall see. oh and i did manage to get back into my car. used a scrap part from one of the aircraft i work on to unlock the car from the inside. don't let anyone tell you that our "roller" locks can't be operated without fingers

All I have to say is AAA. For $47 a year I'm never locked out any car I'm in, Free towing up to 25 miles, They bring you a battery if yours dies and will fix your tire on the side of the road it's piece of mind

but on that note also check with your insurance carrier as some of them have road side assistance in their plans ( I have Geico and have 100 miles of towing and flat fix but no lock smith)

Honestly, there is a reason I always keep my house keys separate from my car keys. And I always have a duplicate/valet key with my house keys.

Never get locked.
