Hope this isn't a dupe. I searched but didn't see it posted.

Automatic car features are supposed to make life easier for motorists, but they may be leaving some people without the know-how to do things the old-fashioned way. That’s what happened to a driver in Utah County who became trapped inside her own car.

A woman called Orem police Friday afternoon needing help because her battery died and she was locked inside her car.

When police arrived, they found the woman sitting in the car, unable to get herself out. She couldn’t hear the officers instructions through the rolled-up windows so she motioned to them to call her on her cell phone, according to police.

Once officers were able to talk to the woman on the phone, they were able to tell her how to manually operate the slide lock mechanism on the inside door panel to open the door and free herself.

“I'm just glad she had a cell phone to call for help,” an officer said.

What, she was parked in a "no-shouting zone"? The officers had laryngitis?

Some cars are really, really hard to break into.

I think it was a 2001 Lexus, but this fucker had some rock-solid windows.  Using a sledge hammer, hammer & chisel, and finally a pick axe (which knocked out a tiny chip) the window remained un-cracked, un-scratched and completely brand new looking.

This is with a half dozen firemen and police officers trying to bust out the window for a good hour before a "locksmith" (read:  tow truck driver with "i steal cars" kit) was called.  Then he couldn't make entry using all his picks and pry tools and slim jims so the car sat there for two days until the Lexus dealership opened on Monday and a "master key" was used to unlock the vehicle.

The story is probably apocryphal, but I worked AAA road service about 15 years ago and a tow truck driver said he got a call from some woman who was flipping out because couldn't get into her car.  Her key fob remote battery had died.  He took her key ring, got the key and opened her door the old fashioned way, by putting the key in the lock and turning it.

Out of curiosity, why were you trying to get into the Lexus?

Yeah, but she could never run away from him. He could just shut the door, tell her it's locked, and she'll never find a way out.

And if he really wants to screw with her, he can put her in a round room and tell her the toilet is in the corner.

They should have called the fire department.

Then they would have cut her car apart to remove her from her car.

Placed her in an ambulance and sent her to the most expensive hospital and Doctors around to treat her for her stupidity, I mean her heat exposure for beign trapped in a sealed vehicle all that time.

I had a lady that locked her keys in the trunk of her '99 Accord.
When I got there she was sitting in it listening to the radio with the engine running.
I asked her why she didn't call and cancel, she replied "because my keys are in the trunk, and all I have is my valet key". So I reached around her and pulled the trunk release and wrote her a bill for $75.
She was still crying when I left.

I replaced both headlight bulbs for a neighbor who swore they burned out.  Later I felt a little dumb for not checking them first.  After the replacements, she got in, twisted the switch, and said "See? They STILL don't work."  

I got in, tried, it, and they went on.   She had only turned the switch to the first (parking lights) position.   Yes, the owners manual was in the glove box.  Now she has two spare bulbs. at least.

Unless the windows were armored, I CANNOT see that happening. A frikkin PICKAXE? Was Tinkerbell swinging it? If it was "chipped" it would have shattered plain and simple, safety glass is very predictable when it comes to breaking once the surface is compromised.

I had that happen to. Had a customer ask to use the store phone to call someone to pick her up because the battery died. I then asked her if she had just tried using the key to unlock the door. I had to explain it to her twice before she understood.
