So i had to break into my car
Well I got home from a tiring shift and just ran into bed and forgot my keys in my car and the doors locked (i locked the car doors but the left keys inside funny eh?).
So i tried many ways but one worked like a charm. I used a coat hanger and put it in the track of the window then poped the trunk opener thing(its not comin to me)...Anyone have stories of breaking into there car because of something stupid?

a few years ago... car running. I called CAA.
last winter, with my Saturn... like and IDIOT!! LOL that time my dad hooked it up!
nautica_t... most ppl who would attempt theft already have a clue as to how to break it.
for me, I wouldn't know how to open the door, but I'd have no problem hot wiring the car if I knew in advance what car I was gonna take.
luckily I'm not a lowlife and I don't have to steal cars

I used to lock the keys inside on an average of 3-4 times a month !!!
I used to call CAA, but eventually got tired of waiting and attempted it myself! ( I won't say how though... theives know enough already!!

its a good idea to keep a spare key in your wallet
Once upon a time...
I was drying off my car after washing it in the coin op... I went to open my door and keys were locked inside, then I reached for my wallet and that was left inside the car too.
So I had to call someone to bring me another spare...
good grief!

Yes you could. Pull the handle and lock it. But if you just push on the lock, it won't do.
I am not sure about the older models.
For me, last week, I washed my car and the door couldn't open so I had to open the hatch and climb from the back.... then I had to turn the seat ***** cause it is not the same as OEM where you pull it and it reclines instantly...
Stupid...

i've used the coat hanger twice myself for the same problem

Im a firm beleiver in this.. its saved my *** at least ten times... just the aggravation of calling caa worth it...even if it saves u one time it was worth it lol...
plus i use it for other stuff, like i disable my trunk poper, so i have to use a key, its a PITA to turn off the ignition just to open the trunk...so my wallet key comes into play

I was at the coin car wash, locked my keys in w/ my car still running. I went to the car-wash attedant, and found a screw driver and coat hanger. I then used the screw driver to pull back the stripping on the bottom of window to fit the screw driver down the side of the door. As I did that, put to much pressure on the window, and it shattered everywhere.
The only good part was that I was able to get into my car, and drive home.
