@snowy22315 That would have been weird right enough I bet one could get badly hurt if one was standing under a tree and a big ice sheet fell of it from a great height

When we first moved here, Vin's brother had to drive half an hour with his key to our house to let us in. We have two different ways to get in now if we ever lock our keys somewhere.

So now you have a back up plan. At least Vince's brother was quite close

George mastered the art of using a knife or blunt object to get into a locked door. Many a time people would lock the bathrooms at Pizza hut. A few neighbors also locked themselves out. One apartment we lived in, only had deadbolts. Made it almost impossible to lock yourself out, unless you lost your key in public.

@ineeddentures Oh yes. When we lived in Paris we drove out to a small place just beyond the south side of the city. We went into a cafe and I locked the car and house keys in the car with the headlights on. Wife was 8 months pregnant and had to walk 2 miles in driving rain with no coats to a dismal hotel where we stayed the night. Next day got a mechanic to open car in 2 seconds but by then battery was flat. Awful night. We got over it.

Oh dear, That is about as bad as it gets. I don't get to look after keys when we are out Yvonne even looks after the bike key and carries the spare key just in case. Amazing how quick a mechanic could open the car,

One time I went into the garage for something and then I couldn’t get out of the garage because the button on the door handle from inside the house was pushed in, which I didn’t check before going into the garage, and so the door wouldn’t open. I was banging on the door and yelling for my parents, but no one came. I don’t remember how long I was in the garage, banging and yelling before somebody finally came to see what was going on and let me out of the garage back into the house. That was when I lived here with my parents many years ago.

My husband lost the double of our house, but I had my keys in the purse so we could open the door and get inside. Many months later, when the garage cleaned and inspected the car they found his keys stuck in the rail of the front passenger seat.

I bet lots of people have lost keys in a similar fashion Anna Quite easy to do.

It has been a long while since I've misplaced my keys. Not having a car, means one less set to worry about

Lots of people do that. I did it once , after a couple of phone calls I found out how to force the window down safely and get into the car that way
