Thank you so much! My neighbor has a brand new Mercedes....and the selfish ahole wouldn't let me drive it to the clubs on my birthday. Thanks to you, I can go whenever I want! Plus, I started my own used car parts business!!!

This happened to me today.😥 I called a locksmith who charged $185 and after few minutes arguments he brought the price down to $100.

A long time ago this happened with my friend and I when we were leaving work. I was unaware of the situation until my friend told me she had locked her keys in her van, and I was desperate to get food that, after five minutes of waiting, I started getting upset and hangry that I called my dad on my phone and told him about the predicament. Fortunately, the police came over to get the keys out of her van, but it still freaks me out. Then again, I can't drive a car to save my life, so I don't have to worry about that happening with me, but I do live in an apartment and have gone outdoors of my apartment a few times without my keys.

I am locked out of my car, I can see my keys right there. Luckily that happened right after arriving at work bad luck the office key is also in the car, my manager said she will come and open. Luckily I made a copy for her yesterday.

Just look on youtube if you key are in the car or better look youtube for info if you ever forget a key in your car.😝

[MADYogiFresh]

Bro YouTube is really failing me. Why is it so much nonsense on this matter

[Rocketman]

Don't pay those ridiculous prices! A coat hangar, screwdriver and shoestring is all you need to get back you keys! I have saved people hundreds of dollars by coming to their rescue.

[johnlime]

So how does this happen? Do cars have doors that automatically lock themselves, instead of having them lock only when you press a button on your key?

[spqdallas]

If I would ever lock my key in the car, I would simply take the second key out of my pocket and get back in the car. Most cars have two keys. Use them.

In a lot of states these air pumps are illegal..

I gotta 1990 Ford Ranger and I always keep a spare car key 🔑 in my room just in case.

[charlita]

This literally just happened 😭 to me tonight. The police 🚓 did not help me.

[besnelson]

It happen to me, no tools no nothing to work with yo unlocked my door AT gas station, plus the gas station had no no tools. So I called 911, they said they couldn’t unlock bz of liability…huh! After 2 hours and a jacked up door, finally got it open. Now I leave an extra key under neath the car body. Police aren’t helpful.

[edwardmylnychuk]

i guess no one ever heard of having a spare key or fob, didit all the time for that reason, i could also go get a coffee with the car running because i could lock it and
had spare keys to get in again.

[dgyunwr]

Bethel I don't believe that you can unlock your car with battery I just try to do that with my keyhole on my car door it does not work
