After reading all the posts I find the brick-through-window-tactic would probably work the best

Question though. Shouldn't you have 3 keys from factory ? 2 masters and 1 valet.
i always have my valet key wherever i go...

i always tell people to put their gps away.. that makes u an uber target and its not covered under auto or home insurance under most circumstances..

u locked urself out again? how the heck do u people keep doing this? i have NEVER locked myself out of my car(knock on wood!)

bought the car from a private owner - who had an aftermarket alarm system installed.(the car was base model - no power locks/windows)

so he got all four doors installed with power lock motors, and the alarm automatically locks all doors in 3 seconds once the car starts. it's very easy to forget if you need to do some stuff before you sit in the car, or warm it up.

or like today....it was snowing in nyc, i had to scrape the windows, etc etc, while warming up the car(along with blasting heat).

but i have my spare key in my wallet now, and one in my apartment.

guess im glad i moved to cali before i learned how to drive, so i never had to deal with that.. lol i was born and lived for 7 yrs out on long island..

seems just as many people out here lock themselves out too though.. i had an ex who locked himself out like 10 times in 2 yrs.. no joke

darthbauer · 12-20-2008, 01:51 AM

I think it would have been cheaper to just wait till the next day and had your local dealership make you a key from the VIN #

oh i miss kali, i went to sf many times, love it there - plan to move there one day

well, stock factory yaris alarm, doesn't auto lock when stationary correct? only when moving?

when i have the money I plan to change alarms...maybe to factory, not sure

dvlnblkdrs · 12-20-2008, 01:52 AM

but matt.. his car was turned on!

darthbauer · 12-20-2008, 01:55 AM

Letting it run out of gas would have still been cheaper.

darthbauer · 12-20-2008, 01:57 AM

Also, the pics look like it is during the day. Someone probably could have run him to the dealership.

friends were either at work, or not within a 60 mile vicinity. could have called a cab for 40 bucks(oneway) to the dealer - would have been worth it compared to the damage.

that's true, the car is under warranty, so replacing the engine after 12-24 hours of running would be free anyway.

darthbauer · 12-20-2008, 02:20 AM

Letting it run for that long and out of gas is not going to kill your engine.

It's a Toyota, give it a little more credit than that.
