I was washing my truck today and happened to lock the keys in the car while I was drying it. No spare...of course. I've owned the car for 1.5 years and keep saying I need to get one. I'll be getting one made on Monday.
So what to do? Truck locked, in the middle of the garage, and the oldest kids car seat is in the back seat. I google some locksmiths and see that unlocking will cost $50 +/-. No thanks.
After a beer and some deep thinking I grab my felling wedge, pry the far corner of the door away from the weather stripping and go to work. I taped a golf towel hook to the end of a piece of bamboo and managed to fish the keys out of the ingition. I tried unlocking the car with the button first but apparently the unlock switch becomes disabled (I think) after a certain amount of time being locked with nobody in it.
Moral of the story - my Stihl felling wedge saved me at least $50 today! ha. I'll have a beer now...
