Im sure we've all got a stupid mistake story to tell but I had a particularly :headbang: moment this morning.
I put my bag in the boot, booted the car up in the garage, left the drivers door ajar as I reversed it out, as you reverse obviously the doors lock. I parked it badly on the other side of the road while I went back to shut the garage door to come back and drive to work.
I heard the door close behind me as I walked away and thought nothing of it. Locked the garage came back locked out the car :headbang:
After work im heading away for the weekend so I had my spare set of keys in my bag, tend to carry the spare when im away incase I loose the normal key or if the mrs needs to use the car.
So the cars sat wonkey on the road, live near a school and it was school run... sat there for nearly 3 hours until the lock smith arrives and uses a little click tool which essentially emulates your key... 5 seconds and he was in.... Frightning really. Sure its the easiest £95 he's made.
Thankfully I parked it usually I leave it in the middle of the road as it takes like 30 secs to shut the garage. Imagine the chaos for the school runners if id locked myself out with the car parked sideways across the road.
Anyway live and learn.... hope that made you chuckle! Man I was mad with myself!!!
