I locked myself outta my 914 tonight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Got a ride home, need to go back and get in.

I have the key with me. It locks the door, but won't open it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

It's the first time I've locked it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Help me get in so I can stop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) and start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)

I've had to 'break' into my 914 a number of times. Luckily, the 30 year old locks are well worn and can be pretty easily opened with any other key that is reasonably close to the same size. Just keep wiggling and jiggling while constantly putting pressure to try and turn the lock. Takes about 5 minutes.

On the other hand, I was once swapping cars with my wife. My 2 yr old son in the back seat in a carseat. Left the car running (1994 Saturn), got out, and by habit, hit the lock and closed the door. My wife was freaking out and went to call the fire department (baby locked in car). I got out my 914 keys which were in my pocket, and tried to jimmy the lock with them (same method as used on the 914). Had the door open in about 30 seconds.

No wonder car theft is so easy.
