Lemonade (locking keys in car...)

[Mark Story]

I have a spare key that I keep on my separate key ring that has all of my
school keys. I usually carry it, but this day I wasn't going to school, so I
left them home.

Why don't they make all cars impossible to lock keys in? I had a 1979 Fiat
that you had to manually lock the door from the outside (that is, you could
not press the lock and hold the exterior door latch while you shut it to
lock the door). I figured the only way you could lock the keys in it was to
lock both doors, open the hatch, throw the keys in and shut the hatch. In
the 20 years that I drove this car, I did not once lock the keys in.

Brian,

That is sort of how I survive now, too.  I am a security specialist's
nightmare.  Extra keys everywhere.  You are more disciplined than me about
this, Brian.  And one key, just for the car, by itself in the same pocket
each time, easy to check quickly as the door is closing ("I think its there,
right....?" Shull conversation with himself as door or trunk is latching.)

 Hi Bill,

 I've done the "locked the keys in the car" twice
 now.  But it's never been a problem.  Wanna know
 why???

 I carry TWO sets on me all the time!  If I lock
 in the first set, there's another set in my
 pocket.

 Honestly, it happens to be that way more by
 accident than by planning. But a few years back,
 I decided I liked it and it 'stuck'.

 Hmmm... if a guy knows anything about the inside
 of a door, a soundboard cleaning tool might prove
 to be pretty handy for unlocking...  but then
 that's locked in the trunk!

 :-)

 Take care,

 Brian
