Some of the newer cars lock themselves after a couple of minutes once the door is closed .... annoying as hell for a normal person. He’s wearing the kelvar vest because vest because even little kids throw rocks at him.
The Bush compound is about 15 minutes from Biddeford. Wonder why he’s there considering that it’s very blue collar. Kennebunkport is all elitist liberal snobs. I know it well as my wife grew up there when it was a sleepy fishing village.
We vacation in Wells Beach, ME 2x a year and I pretty much spent the 80’s in Portland.
We were at least a half hour from any civilization, but I had my work truck which had some #12 solid wire in it. I fashioned a hook, and as was possible in early 90s Caddys, I was able to hook the lock on the door, and get it opened.
The whole time, he was standing next to me, while another aide was snapping pics. So I expected the multi-millionaire to maybe offer to drop me a 5 or 20. (I wouldn't have taken it, or I would have donated it to BB/BS) But alas, nothing more than a thank you. I called his office the following Monday hoping to get a pic of me and Senator together. But mysteriously, they had nothing. I'm sure they thought better of having him look like a dumb@ss that locked his keys in the car. (even tho it was his aide). Good times.

The kids probably picked on him in school and probably still do. LOL
Damariscotta hasn't been ruined yet, but then oysters are sleepy and unglamorous.
And delicious.
I lived in the Lebanon, Shapleigh, Milton Mills area for about 15 years.
Biddeford was like an upscale Sanford that still spoke French back then.
Been a few years, things probably have changed.
Next he will be driving with the gas station nozzle still in the car. Gotta love when that happens. He may need to apply for Biden’s roommate position.
I, for one, am grateful for Jeb Bush: by running in 2016, so sure of himself and his family’s control of the Republican Party, so expecting to win the nomination, so stupidly repeating the RINO mantra... he created President Donald Trump.
Now, as for locking oneself out of the car, the runner up award goes to my wife who locked herself out of a RUNNING car.
Taking the top spot is... me: I locked myself out of my F150 with the keys, my wallet and my phone on the driver’s seat, and in a not-so-great area in DC. Thankfully, a good Samaritan, a self-described former car thief, asked me if I needed help. He went back to his apartment, reappeared with a five-ring set of keys, went through 2 or 3 of them, then easily opened the passenger door. “Ford?” he said. “That’s too easy.” Then he looked at The Club I had put on the steering wheel, scoffed, and said, “Git yerself an alarm.”
I gave him all the cash I had in my wallet and took the-Hell off. To this day I still love this guy.
Seems he and his wife were building a huge house on the family compound. Ooh- a limited partnership so he doesn’t pay taxes.

I once was racing my children into a store and locked my myself out of Mt running car while it was in drive. Fortunately it was parked nose in on an incline and the tires rested against the curb.
The law looked very carefully at me and I suddenly realized he thought there was a possibility that I was inebriated. Not the case. Just the silliest with the kids.
Well, I’m no fan of Jeb! but I’ve done this before (it’s been a while) so I really don’t have room to talk. 😜
Li.ited partnerships don’t pay taxes?
Thanks
Apparently has not heard of hide-a-key... https://www.amazon.com/Hide-Under-Magnet-Large-Black/dp/B003P4IH9O/ref=asc_df_B003P4IH9O/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459456621045&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10012738968122263371&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=2840&hvtargid=pla-942431544122&psc=1
Great story! Glad all were okay.
When I was little, my mom drove the station wagon off the road to chase some butterfly she saw. She didn’t set park or the foot brake properly, so the car rolled back onto the highway. All I remember is my older brother jumping across the front seat the trying to push the brake w/ his hands. Didn’t work.
Thank God for less traffic back in the day... the car rolled right back across the highway and landed in the median.
Two words...keyless fob. The fob for my truck goes into my watch pocket and stays there until I change jeans. Each door and the tailgate has a push button, so I can lock or unlock any door or the tailgate with the push of a button. When it’s time to drive away, I step on the brake pedal and push the engine start/stop button. When I arrive at my destination, I place the truck in Park and push the start/stop button again. Convenient for me, but idiot proof for people like Jeb.
I can’t speak for every make and model but aren’t most cars manufactured in the last 15 years or so almost impossible to lock the keys inside?
The car sensor won’t allow you to do it. The only way you can is if you have the other set outside the vehicle, then you can lock one set inside.
I’m guessing those multi-millionaire Bushes have cars newer than 2005.
It looks like he works there!
