My neighbors were fixin’ to go somewhere the other day. They put the baby in the car and were rounding up another kid when the other little sister got out of the car and locked it behind her. With the keys in the ignition.
My wife came in and got me. I grabbed my aluminum meter stick and went out. I was able to slide it around the window frame and partially roll down the electric window. He had his hammer ready but we avoided that. They were pretty shook up.
Everyone was thankful and they offered to get me a new meter stick. You have to make a couple of strategic bends to make it land on the drivers door control panel. But I refused. About the only thing I use it for is to unlock cars.
