Have you ever locked your keys in your vehicle?

Contributor: Ciao. Ciao.
One summer my partner locked her keys in the car twice so I had to come and unlock it for her. I've only locked my keys in the car once, and luckily a friend of mine was able to deliver a spare set to me (even though it was a bit of a drive). But definitely something I try and avoid. Not fun!

I locked my keys in my car so often at work that the locksmith started to recognize me...

I did it once, but, there's a story, and it was kind of unavoidable.

I was wearing a jacket, and I had the keys in the pocket and I took the jacket off and put it back in the car.

We called a locksmith because we were at my dad's physical therapy place. I had the only key at the time.

Now, though, we both carry keys most of the time. I sometimes intentionally lock my keys in the car because they're kinda bulky and I don't like to carry them in my pocket. When I have my bag, I put the keys inside of my bag before I even leave the car--our car doesn't have an alarm system, etc, not even automatic locks.

I can't recall ever locking my keys in the car. Thank God for spare keys though if this were ever to happen.

Nope, generally I am really careful with my keys.

I've done it so many times it's unreal. I even locked my keys in my car while it was running before. I ended up blocking my street and had to call the cops for them to help me get back in. I ended up waiting an hour for someone to come help and was ridiculously late for work. I think that was the last time I ever did it.

I have locked my keys in the car so many times that I now keep a spare in my purse for such occasions. I too have locked the keys in while the car was running!

Not proud of it, but I had to check several choices. 8 years of college, and drinking a beer or two leads to a little forgetfullness at times. There were other things on my mind back then. Within the last 20 years, I haven't locked my keys in the car though, so I did get better after college.

Once in college, I locked my keys in the car. I called my roommate to come pick me up, but before she got there, I realized the back door was unlocked

I never heard the police did that. I've always been told you have to call a locksmith if you can't get it unlocked.

Sadly, I have locked my keys in every car I have ever owned save two...a van I once owned for a year and a half and my current car. The only reason I haven't made this mistake with the latter of the two is thanks to having a smart key. I'm sure I would have if I didn't. It's a thing for me.
Thankfully I have never had to call a locksmith. I've been lucky enough to either have a copy with someone else or have someone able to open it with a hanger. I was so bad about it, my then boyfriend started keeping a hanger in his trunk knowing sooner or later I would call. It's just the way my brain works, or doesn't.

I've locked mine in the car before, but I had a spare taped up in the wires under my trunk for just such an emergency.

For some reason, I always locked myself out of my car while I was in college. But not before or after that time.

I locked my keys in my work truck once. THe boss had to call a lock smith to come and get them out for me. It kind of sucked, made me late to my appointments. But that was the only time. My cars have a lock on the key, so I need the key in my hands to lock the car.
