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)

Here's how it went down (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

I used the coat hanger, vinyl coated, mind you. (green) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I used some vise grips to make a tight hook at one end. I snuck the hook in between the window and targa trim at the rear most end first. I was able to pull the rear latches down one at a time by bending and twisting the wire until it popped down.

The fronts were way harder. I used the vise grips to keep the top between the roll bar wedged up so I could get the wire a far forward as possible. After I got the pivoting section of the latch around, I used the lug wrench handle I found in the trunk ( not locked ) to pry each latch down.

I felt like I had won a prize. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

Maybe tonight I will lock myself out again and see if I can break in faster (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
