OK. Don't keep me in suspense. How easy was it? What did they do to get in?

Guilty. When I first got my SVX. My excuse was it was SO quiet after driving the Sprint....yup, I got to the grocery store, hopped out and locked her up. Then as I walked away, I realized she was still running!
I'd left the sunroof cracked open, so I went in the store, borrowed a broom (got some strange looks when I said it was to unlock my car), and used the handle in thru the sunroof to push up the passenger side lock.

I just made it a habit to lock the car with the remote instead of with the inside door lock. I have locked my keys in my car plenty of times, just not on the SVX. I did it once on my legacy at the golf course, and I used a golf club to get in. (No I didn't smash a window, I stuck the handle of one club between the window glass and the body, and stuck another one in the gap and hit the unlock switch.)

I left my key on the ignition switch and closed the door. I didn't know my yellow one will lock it byitself? Finally found a cloth hanger....took like 10-15 mins to unlock it. I'm no expert on this...if I were to do it again, it'd be much quicker but better not.

I don't know why Subaru doesn't do this, but my Toyota won't let you lock the door if the key is in the ignition, if you hit the lock switch or flip the lever, it automatically unlocks. And it's not an age thing cuz the 'Yota is a 90... (It's a Cressida in case you were wondering, has the same 7M-GE 3 liter inline six as the Supra, just not turbo and dog-o-matic)

Re: has any1 ever locked their keys in their car
Thats cool. Is there any way we (USDM) people can do this to our cars? Change the handle? Change the door????
