    Locked them in the boot of my car in work about 6 months ago and had to get my girlfriend to come with the spares. On my car (VW Passat) you can open boot from remote control and when I had finished work I opened it to put my jacket in, but somebody called me and I got talking so when I finished talking I just closed down the boot only then to realise I had put the keys in my jacket pocket :o:o:o:o

    Yep, about two years ago, in work.

    Got the bus home to get my spare keys from my room only to stand outside the door bewildered before I realised my house keys were also on my car keys so I couldn't get the spare.

    Had to phone my landlordlady to find my spare room key which she hadn't used in four years, to let me in and get my damn keys. It was 9pm before I finally got my car home.

    Yes, on my old corolla i was always at it. It was never a problem really. I always knew how open it within 2 minutes of finding a clothes hanger.

    One day while topping the oil on another car i placed the keys on the headlight. When i was finished topping up the oil i closed the bonnet on the keys. When the bonnet closed on the keys, it activated the alarm and all the doors locked instantly. Unfortunately they were my only set. I had to life the corner of the bonnet to fish them out with a clothes hanger. :D It was really embarrassing. Me lifting the bonnet, the alarm blaring and a mate fishing with a hanger on a petrol station forecourt.

    EDIT: crappy spelling that i noticed, there is prbly more

    I locked my keys into my old fiesta and had to kick the drivers window in to get them out. It always a sickener to have that happen.

    This is probably pure folk-myth, but I once heard a story about a couple up from 'de country' who went to some gig in the Point and on coming out relised they had left their keys locked in the car. They asked a passing guard for assistance (a passing guard? this story must be complete BS now I think of it) who put out a call on to other guards in the Pearse St. District to find a local 'gou' who might be of assistance.

    Lo and behold, 5 minutes later, two 'local-lads' appear, armed with a wooden driver golf club. The owner of the car assumed they were about to put the window in with it when one of the lads said "Nah...s'alrite bud, dis model of beemer has a bleedin' design flaw...watch dis". With that he proceeded to tee-off and give the right front tyre an almightly whack. Suddenly all the locks shot up.

    The lads knew that that model of BMW in whatever year had a design-flaw that if the front right tyre got a hard enough whack that it would release the central locking, but not engage the airbags.
