You just stepped out of your car after a long day. Maybe you were running errands, picking up groceries, or just heading home from work. Either way, you feel that familiar sense of relief as you finally get to put down the steering wheel. You reach for your keys in your pocket, but they're gone! Missing! Vanished into thin air. Your heart starts to race a little faster as panic sets in. You frantically check every crevice you can think of. Maybe you dropped them somewhere inside the vehicle? You start digging through your bags and backpack, but no luck. The keys are nowhere to be found.
Now you're stuck outside your own motorized friend, with a sinking feeling in your stomach. You try calling a friend or family member, hoping someone might have an extra set. You could always call a locksmith, but that seems like such a hassle and expense! This is definitely not how you envisioned ending your day.
Locked Out Again : This Time It's My Car
Well, shoot, it happened again. I'm utterly locked out of my car. You'd think after the last couple times this has taken place, I'd remember to keep a spare key somewhere safe. But no, here I am, left in the lurch once more. I swear, sometimes I feel like I'm living in a sitcom. This time it's not my house or my bike, it's my trusty old vehicle.
At least the weather is mild today, so I'm not freezing my tailbone off while I wait for help to arrive.
I've already tried all my typical methods, but nothing is working. Maybe it's time to reach out to AAA.
This is turning into a real pain.
