    A buddy of mine accidentally tried that last year with his rental car, at Little River no less. Surprisingly, nothing happened. Might be a new strategy...

    As Russell will gladly tell you, nobody bothered mine either. That was at JB on a very busy weekend. I suspect when people see a door open, they are convinced the owner is nearby.

    I have a car with an electronic ignition key. I just leave the ignition key in the car (out of sight), and take a door key diving.

    I had my power lock module on my 4runner malfunction one time. It apparently got stuck in the 'lock' action where it continuously tried to lock the doors. It eventually fried all four lock solenoids and killed the battery.

    I had just enough juice to get the back window down so I could crawl in. I then had to disassemble all four doors from the inside and remove the power lock actuators. Oh and we still needed a jump.

    I still haven’t fixed the locks as the manual ones work just fine J

    I was at JB Friday. As the guy parked next to me was walking to the water, I called to him, "You left your shoes on the ground!" He said to just leave them there. Then I hollered, "Shall I close the driver's door you left wide open?"

    See, Forrest? You're not the only one.

    Funny story! I was expecting a diving incident so well played.

    My wife locked our keys in our old pickup truck several years ago at a dive shop that was about 2.5 hours from our house. Fortunately, I had my tool kit in the truck bed unsecured and was able to break into the cab in a matter of about 20 minutes. We did have the reminder of the incident in all the scratches on the passenger side door until we finally got rid of the truck a couple years ago. At least we were at a dive shop that kept beer in the fridge, too!

    Davey,

    Needless to say, I will be holding the keys for our dive at Cow, thus avoiding a potential similar situation which I would not be surprised if you repeated again in the future.

    I think it would be safe to say, "not good".

    Okay, just wait 'til you're OLD and start forgetting things...

    When are you doing Cow? I want in on it. I have never been there. I know how to keep my keys where I can get them though.
