As soon as I slammed the door I knew what I'd done, and just laughed. Ack! It turned out to be an interesting adventure because I was in a safe warm place, had good people to help me, and was provident enough to have AAA. I carry jumper cables so I can solve that problem myself...whether for me or someone else. I've found I can always get someone to give my car a jump start within 10 minutes--even in the underground parking lot at the airport. Self-reliance is a good thing. And, when that fails, community is even better. Janet Kendra,

The last time I locked my keys in the car was 1977. I was still driving my 1969 Firebird. That was very easy to "break in" to. All it took was a coat hanger and a spoon. The spoon maintained the gap so I could easily slip the coat hanger down the inside of the window. As for the new tools..yes it has become a high-tech art form. I had my Jeep stolen by pros several years ago. The took it right out of a busy parking lot at my office. All I can say is the music and the yoga must have had a powerful influence on you to remain so calm. I'd be tearing my hair out. I can't believe how cool and relaxed you remained, Janet.
