Wife Said She Lost the Car Keys

[Bear Paw Jack]

They weren't in my pockets! Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the car's ignition. He's afraid that the car could be stolen.

As I looked around the parking lot, I realized he was right. The parking lot was empty. I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.

Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband: "Honey, I left my keys in the car and it's been stolen."

There was a moment of silence. I thought the call had been disconnected, but then I heard his voice. "Are you kidding me?" he barked, "I dropped you off!"

Now it was my turn to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, "Well, can you come and get me?"

He retorted, "I will, as soon as I convince this cop that I didn't steal your car!"

Ever lock your keys in the car with a 'clicker' on the keyfob? My wife did! I have no idea how she did it but...she did. I am sitting home felling like death warmed over with a cold when the phone rings. "Honey, I locked my keys in the car. I know you feel lousy but can you come unlock it for me?" Now I ask her where she is. She stopped at the local WaWa for coffee. I tell her I'll be there in about 15 minutes or so. I arrived, stopped my car behind hers, mashed the button on my set of keys and unlocked it. I then waited till she was IN and running before I left. I had thought of simply driving through the parking lot, hitting the button, and keep on going, but I didn't want the fallout that might follow. :D :lol:

We were done shopping at the supermarket and it was really hot out. So I started the car and turned on the a/c before starting to load groceries in the back of the car with the tailgate open on the Subaru Outback. I finish loading the bags, my wife steps out of the car and takes the cart to return it and slams her door shut, somehow hitting the key fob "lock" button and the whole keyring flying into the car as the door closes. So there we are with the car locked, both our sets of keys in the car, a/c going full blast. I blame myself for letting this happen because it had already happened once before, a few years back, almost exactly the same way and I had not learned my lesson. I should have used HER keys to start the car, keeping mine safely in my pocket. So I had to call AAA and we both stood there in the blazing sun of the store parking lot for about a half hour until the guy from AAA showed up. What added to the incident was that it took him about 15 seconds to use a hooked wire to squeeze in between the door window and the frame of the door and unhook the interior locking switch. Made me grateful for his skill, and reminded me why I should never leave a firearm in my car.

Had a lady approach me at the Wal-Mart one time asking for help. She had a Dodge mini van with the keyless ignition and door lock. Told me she couldn't get into the van because the fob was not working. I asked for the fob and she gave it to me saying, "It won't work" I went to the car, flipped out the key that is built into the fob and unlocked the door and once inside the van sensed the fob and I started it for her. She just stood their with her mouth open. She NEVER knew there was an actual key in the fob, and the van was several years old. I handed her the fob and told her she needed to get the fob battery changed and walked away.

It is strange that some people just don't know how things work. While my wife was still teaching, one of the other teachers was talking about her car's headlights and how dim they were. She said that they were "automatic" but seemed to not be very good. Linda told her that she would ask me to take a look at them. I showed up at the school, got her keys, started the engine, turned on the headlights and found NOTHING wrong. I told her that I couldn't find any problem. I explained what I did. She then asked me what I meant by "turned on the lights"? Seems she NEVER knew that there was a light switch to turn them on. She thought the 'daylight driving lights' automatically went on brighter at night.

Regarding the "automatic" lights; some cars do work that way automatically including every car I have had in recent years. I have the light switch set on "auto" and the daytime running lights stay come on as soon as the engine is started and change to the low beams when the light sensor indicates it is getting dark out. I never touch the light switch at all unless I have a reason to put the headlights on even when it is not yet dark outside.

When it comes to cars, there are things that can surprise you. Years ago I owned a car for over 5 years before I realized that there was a small storage compartment on the dashboard with a pull down cover.

Just before Xmas I was at the local Target store at the entrance with my friend who was ringing bells for the Salvation Army.
A woman kept walking in and out of the store and stopped to tell us that her key fob battery must be dead because she couldn't open her door. The key fob was for a Mercedes and had one of those goofy "switchblade" style keys.
I told her I had been a mechanic most of my life and said I'd have a look for her. So I followed her.
On the way to the car she told me she had just bought the car a couple of weeks ago and was afraid to call her boyfriend because he would get mad.
When we got to the car, I tried the button (of course) and nothing happened.
The key didn't seem to want to fit the lock in the door, so I went to try the trunk.
On top of the key hole in the trunk was the Cadillac emblem.
As I pressed the button a few more times, a Mercedes in the next row was locking and unlocking.
FYI, Caddys and Mercedes look pretty similar!

I was aware of that, however this was an older Pontiac and didn't have the auto feature. She had been driving the car this way for over a YEAR. I asked her if she had ever read the "owners manual"; and if she hadn't I suggested that she do so ASAP.

My Tundra does that. Only time it doesn't work is when one must turn on the lights and it is dark, such as during rain. Mine has an adjustment for sensitivity. With that said, I just turn the light on manually and leave them on. You can set the amount of time they stay on after the ignitions is turned off. Or, just hit the lock button on the fob twice.

 

[JFB]

my problem was trying to figure out how to turn them OFF!

driving rental car up to guard shack at nuke plant at 3AM, with big sign "turn of headlights before approaching" will get you an armed reception

That's nothing; After owning my '98 Volvo S-70 now 9 years I discovered that there IS a covered compartment in the center of the shelf in front of the rear window; Just NEVER noticed the square raised lid before. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

On the key thing, My son bought one of these fancy Ford trucks with the King Ranch Limited Edition. It was a year old but very low milage and looked like new. It has all these fancy LED lights inside with low light shining on different surfaces in white, red and blue. The first time he comes to the house and shows it off I was really impressed. Then we went inside and had supper. Several hours later he went to leave & it wouldn't start, not even turn over, I guess he left the lights on or something while showing it off. That truck doesn't have a key. Not even a keyhole to stick a key into. We never did find a way to get into it once the battery was dead. You cant open the hood or any doors. He had to have a Ford mechanic come out to get it open and started. And I never did find out what he did. Decided right then and there I wouldn't have one!

A few years ago I dropped the wife at Walmart and parked in an out of the way spot and told her to call me I would pick her up at the door, she called I drove to the door and watched her get in the car in front of me, oh ya true story.

I had dropped the wife off at the local Credit Union and was sitting there reading the morning paper when a lady came out of the Credit Union walked over to my passenger door, opened it and 'plopped' into the seat. Then she looked up and I WASN'T her hubby; he was sitting in the car next to mine . . . laughing his a.. off. She said "Oh my!" and got out. I would have LOVED to have heard the conversation in their car when she got in.

Many years ago prior to the invention of Navigation systems, my wife would go off and get lost, she would then call me and ask me to give her directions home. I would of course, ask her where she was and she would get mad at me and scream she was lost and didn't know where she was but she expected me to give her directions!!! This happened a few times, she has had a nav system in her vehicles ever since they became available!

My dad did that to a woman at the grocery store up at camp.

She was parked right by the door in a gray Toyota 4-runner and I drive a gray/gold (depending on how the light hits it) Explorer. He got in her truck and sat a second, like he waiting for me to start it up and pull away. Then, he looked over to the driver's side and this woman was looking at him...

"You're not my son." He said...

"You're not my husband," she laughed.

"Guess I gotta put on my glasses..." he said and got out of her truck.

They both got a good laugh...
