Old family stories: Locked out of the blue Honda
Back in the day, my parents had to go to town to get groceries and do laundry. FatherSir was driving his blue Honda Civic almost exclusively at this point, as his old GMC Suburban was and is a gas hog, and needed a new engine at that point (which it has since gotten). This must have been before I came along, but after they were together, which puts it in the late 1970's.
FatherSir was doing laundry, and realized he'd locked his keys in the car. He looked around and found a coat-hanger, and did that thing with the window, which had fortunately been left open a slit, and managed to open the door. He was very pleased with himself.
He saw the security risks inherent in leaving the window open even a crack, though, since it had been so easy, and rolled up the window and put the coathanger inside, lest any other would-be unlocking artists get ideas. He pushed down the locking knob, and shut the door.
It was at this point that he realized where he'd put his keys: namely, they were still in the car.
He walked over and got Mama, and she unlocked the car with her keys.
That was when he took to carrying a spare set of keys in a different pocket.
