lol nice reminds me of the time I locked my keys inside at a walmart parking lot and it was raining hard outside. A couple of metal hangars tied together with a random scrunchie I found on the floor and 15 minutes later I looped the keys and pulled em right out through the window crack. Best part was no one offering to help but they would stare at me like I was trying to steal the dang thing.

Haha, me too man. To make the matter worse I was just getting ready to go to work too. I started the Jeep up to heat it up, and I must've bumped the lock button on the keyfob without noticing then closed the door and proceeded to scrape off the ice and snow. Got to work 30 minutes late and 40 bucks poorer lol.

Not jeep related but my friend locked his keys in his car at school so we skipped lunch (rebels...I know) and went out there to retrieve them. We could get our fingers behind the glass of his dodge and we could pull the window back a little. So we used...
A piece of a fishing pole
A crossbow arrow
And band aids
(all stuff we found in the jeep lol)
We stuck the arrow and fishing pole together with band aids cause the fishing pole was to flimsy to hook the lock and we needed a strong back bone for the pole, so that's where the arrow came into play, slide the contraption downinside the window, and used the eyelet on the end of the fishing pole to hook the door lock and pull it up. Cause he left the keys in the ignition..pretty smart for a couple redneck boys in a highschool parking lot. Haha

I got a hole in my slider panel...stuck my spare key in that and put Gorilla tape over it to keep it from moving, and Gorilla tape over the hole. It's black so blends with the Jeep. Also works pretty well =P

Locked the keys in my XJ the night I brought it home. Took the guy nearly and hour to get it open. Said it was the worse lockout he's had in a while. $40 down the drain.

I won't pay anyone to unlock my doors, and most deff not blowing a window out to get in.
I'll stick to my stick trick and cutting a hole in the floor pan lol.

Ive locked the key inside my car 6 times now. Only 1 time was I able to do it myself in the parking lot of my work with a deep fryer cleaner pipe thing. The other times I just call the local police department and they do it for me.
You would think I would go get a second key made...been 3 years and still haven't...
