Who can tell me how the R.A.C got me back in?

Nothing was broken and no coat hangers were used.

Half a rubber ball over the door lock.

No (you need a golf for that)

Why, have you forgotten? :p

Trained mice?

Would be cool but no.

DId you write that you locked your keys out of your car? That shouldn't be too hard to get back in. ;)

If they were locked out of your car, it shouldn't have been a problem...

EDIT: Yes, as stukdog says too. :p

Im told that it only applies to VW Golfs of the 90s

Yes I worded it wrong.

I locked the keys inside the car from outside using another key which only unlocks.

I'll give you a clue...

Using a battery and a multimeter amongst other things...

Was it Mrs. Peacock in the Conservatory with the Battery and the Multimeter?

I'm surprised you didn't lock your family IN your car.

Hmm. used the battery to somehow start the car, point it at a wall and batter the car to the point the keys fell out?

I am so puzzled...

I like the way you think. :eek:

No.

In actual fact, the RAC man removed the rear centre brake light, unplugged the water hose and power cord, earthed a 12v battery to the car, plugged the other cable to a multimeter and the other mutlimeter cable the to blue and white cable.

Then the car unlocked!

Excellent. We now know how to break into alexprice's car.

You guys keep a watch out for any rozzers, while I get in there and swipe his stereo. :)

Oh wow, I would've just thrashed the windshield (once the mice got trapped and started suffocating). And I have an engineering background :eek:

After spending an hour out in the cold muddy dark outside trying with a coathanger, I really thought the guy would do the same. But 10mins later POP!

He made it look very easy. He says he's deals with this at least once a day:eek:

That was my next guess, although Lau's sounded pretty good as well.

Problem is on a modern car one can not longer use a slim jim because they changed out they do design to make it impossible for a slim jim to work any more.

When I lock my keys in my trunk I call a lock smith and he used an air bag in the door to flex it open about a 1/4 of an inch shoved a melt rod in their and hit the power door lock. Took him about 5 mins to do it.
