___ you wouldn't wanna be in my shoes as @ this morning.

This morning, I decided to go to the market for Xmas shopping before I get down to business, after a well deserved holiday...lolz. I did the routine 'spot check', then after warming the car...I flung my handbag with my phones and house key inside it on the 'driver 2' seat. (big gal tinx...hehe).

Just as I started the car, settled on my seat to move, engaged the Reverse gear, I heard this 'krin-krin' sound, I parked (without putting off the car)...came out and bent down to look...
Outta reflex, I closed the door and that was it, I just heard the sound of central lock. Normally I always bring my glasses down, but my village people were definitely out to frustrate me this morning.

With so much hope/faith __ I started trying to open all the doors,they were locked.
I ran to the trunk__locked. Then I knew I was in 'soup'. I felt like fainting...No phone to call a panel beater, no money on me, house locked/spare key inside the house... no one @home...my eyes turned red immediately.

I decided to give it a shot, I scouted round the compound for tools,'saw none. I ran to the house opposite mine and begged the woman for a kitchen spoon...lolz.
I used it to create space in between the door...it wasn't easy - my fingers got sore. At that point I wished the car wasn't so strong. I took a walk down my street like one mad woman, scattering dirts and picking various objects that would enable me get @ the central lock. I saw none...just when I was beginning to give up, I saw this thick Nepa wire...

__ I turned to a carnivorous being immediately, chewing the back off- to get @ the iron inside. I knew that was my perfect tool... and it worked.
By then I was tired, frustrated and confused...I didn't feel like going out in that mumu car again, but I had to get those stuffs and I had a date with a nairalander too - I didn't wanna disappoint. In all, it wasn't so bad an experience, I kept those tools for the future...hhahaha.

Ever experienced this?
Please share your experience.

Take your ignition key and have another one cut.
It will not start the car, but it will open the door.
Then take one screw out of the license plate and put the key under it.
Put the screw back in with it going through the hole in the key, securing the license plate.
The key is out of sight.
If this happens again, you might have to borrow a dime from someone so you can unscrew the screw and get at your key.

(Been there and learned this from the rescue guy from Samaria)

wowww.
Thanks so much for this tip.
I have a spare key, yes it doesn't start the car__ I wanted to do the type that can start the car, they said 32k. I don't have that kind money anywhere. The spare was inside the house, but with this your tip...mmehn.

lolz @6packdude.
It was a female nairalander o.
The car doesn't do like that before, it only locks when the car is on D and that's after sometime too or if it enters a bump.
It has been having an electrical fault, I would fix it by weekend, this one done show me pepper.

6packdude:

It's that bad. That's why I have you, please when can I get the mercedes?

I once left my keys in the trunk of my Nissan sedan. The trunk could only be opened by the key; so I had no other option than to call AAA to help me out.

Is it an automobile service/rescue team over there? Lolz
Na panel beater we get here o

Don't do it please.
It's an old fashioned system and criminals all over the world knew about this little comfort that could land you into serious mess.

Who would stop a car jacking activity if the supposedly car thief seems to own that car?


I repeat don't do it ,you're simply making your car an easy target for theft.

englishmart:
