Got to work this morning first job jumps out goes to the back of the van and the doors locked so i go back to the front get the key and unlock it put the keys back (can you see where this is going?) walks to the back again as i try to open the door the van locks itself with the keys in the ignition  : two hours of lost work time
The scary thing is it took the RAC man less than a minute to break into the van

my wife did the same thing when she had my 3 month old daughter in the car ( few years back) and she had to call the police... they give her a lift home to get the spare key  whilst one watched the car..

Leason learned  :

Shouldn't lock if the keys are in it. Mine doesn't.

Only if you press unlock, but don't open it for a minute.

I knew I was going to lock myself out of my fiesta van at some point because the boot locks as soon as it is shut. I started to take a spare key with me to make sure I didn't. You guessed it. I locked both keys in the boot and the RAC man had to break in. And you are right, it is scary how quickly you can open a locked car without the keys.

 We all have one of those days once in a while.... I once locked my keys in my car after doing a morning of work and had to take a taxi home to pick up spare key and back again... ended up spending what I'd earned on taxi.... oh well, you live and learn.

[Dean Aspects]

At least i now know i am in good company as it sounds like lots of you have done it too 

[Tim82]

 That's why we're here afterall!

If you have a spare key, wrap it up it wateproof tape and screw it to the floor somewhere accessible. ( Best buy a simple replica WITHOUT chip for central locking immobiliser. ) Then you only need a screwdriver to get the spare key.

I learnt my lesson after that. Now I wear the key around my neck. So, unless my head is also in the boot, I can't lock myself out!
