Locked in a keyless car - really?

So instead, he had to call me from East Tamaki to Takapuna (ref the previous comment of Friday afternoon) to fetch his house keys (luckily in his pocket) to return to his house in East Auckland and retrieve the spare fob, then go back to Takapuna to deliver...

That was a merry waste of time he didn't live down for a while...

That reminds me... I really must get my HISS key copied before I lose the orginal...
I have lost exactly 3 keys in 40.9 years. All on the same keyring but lets not tempt fate.

I suppose they couldn't open the glovebox to read the owners manual either...

Mazda 3, saw it on the telly.

Had a little lever tucked in beside the door opener, which tbh wasn't that hard to see.

They even tried smashing the window but couldn't.

Lucky it wasn't in the states as they'd be suing the arse off Mazda. Lol

If they rode motorbikes it would be equivalent to them being stuck on the bike in front of their garage for 13 hours, because the side stand was stuck and didn't go down...

Or stuck on the main stand when they have only ever used a side stand.
