By me! Haha, I locked my keys in my car, so I spent twenty minutes outside in the rain breaking back into my car to get my keys out of the damn ignition...All thanks to the help of my new buddy:

I think you can imagine how I did it.

I definitely got more than a few weird looks from people walking by. I thought it was hilarious. I'm just lucky nobody called the cops, I suppose.

... It pisses me off when people don't call. I would rather have the laugh with the cop then someone stealing my car. But good job on jimmying it out. I couldn't do it with my car.

I can do it in less than 30 seconds.

I've locked my keys in my car probably over 15 times in two years

first time i really had to piss and had just bought the car so i pulled over on the service road and when i got out i somehow locked the door. i go to get in my car and i was like what in the hell. i learned real quick right then and there the sunroof came out.

when i locked my keys in my car last i was doin somethin under the hood at my moms house, left the keys in and when i got done i locked the car because im paranoid about people breakin in over there. i got to lookin for the keys and was like aww fawk.

and yes i have an se so it sorta has auto locks. i lock the drivers door and the passenger side locks

You should be concerned about the area you live in. If people are just gonna watch someone break into a car then the people around your area have severe Genovese syndrome and you should be really worried.

I got the cops called on me, when i jumped threw my own apartments' window. It took me at most, 30 seconds to get the window open. Cops arrived 5 minutes later.

Eh, it was in a college parking lot, and the kids have seen me around in the car so I'm not really concerned with that.

It was my first time doing this, as I normally try not to make a habit out of locking my keys in my car. Thank god for frameless windows!

I said that same thing, then I locked my keys in the car the same day. Habit to push the door lock button over.... hurry out car. It can happen to anyone.

I only did it once in my 240, was on phone and just jumped out car. Thought I hooked my keys to my pants like usual. was at home so I had the spare right there. Once in my old Taurus locked doors and got out car, Realized keys were on seat.

Probably the only S13 owner who thinks that.Do you have a radio in your car? I used to........frameless windows made the job easy for the thieves.

Eh, if a thief wants something, they're going to get it, no matter what you do to try and stop them. Frameless windows just kept you from needing to buy a new window to replace the one they would have broken to get your radio.

no one seems to have wire coat hangers at their house anymore.I purposely locked my keys in my car when going to an all night party. One time I had the urge to drive while I was trashed and i don't want to do that.These are my new friends

Damn dude you scared me with the thread title haha.

My driver's side doesn't have a key cylinder, and my passenger door was from a different car, so the only way I can get into my car without my key fob is through the hatch lol. There is a spare on the car at all times, but only I know where

ive done that a few times. u used to have this realy bad habbit of locking my door as im stepping out of my car and then just closing it. i dont do that any more as i have an alarm that locks my power locks when i activate it.

one time i did it at a gas station. i kinda lucked out with that one cause sometimes when i go to put gas in, sometimes i pull on the trunk latch first by accident instead of pushing it down to open the gas latch. i did that so my hatch was open, i was just able to crawl through. some people were looking at me kinda funny.

another time i did it, i barely had my driver window cracked, maybe an inch or so. i took my boot lace off, made a loop at one end, tied a little rock to it just above the loop, stuck it in through the wind and fished for the hatch latch. got it and pulled it up to go through the hatch.

good ol times

Did it at my work once, called my friend with a 240 and tried like 3 different keys, none of them worked, so i had to call a keysmith.

$14.95 from http://www.keepshooting.com/lo...r.htm

What is a jiggler key? A thin piece of metal cut in the general shape of a key, the jiggler slips into the keyway of many locks and most car locks. The jigglers in the set come with a variety of general cuts that vaguely resemble cuts on keys. A jiggler is slipped into the lock and moved around, much as using a rake type pick, until the lock opens. If one jiggler does not work then the next one in the set is tried. Probability of success depends on the skill of the user and on luck.

Basically:Insert > Jiggle > Twist > If that doesn't open her up, on to the next one. lol I believe the same rule applies in some pornos
