I experienced something interesting this morning.
I was getting gas at a gas station, and a younger woman comes up to me asking for my keys.
She had locked her keys in her car, so she wanted to use mine to try to open her door.
I told her my key is keyed for my car, which is a mazda, so it wouldnt work.
She had a jeep.
I then asked her, have you tried all the doors, which she promptly tries.
Then I asked her if she had hidden a key somewhere on the car, a Hide-a-key.
She said she didnt know what that was.
I offered her my phone, which she used to call her uncle.
Then I paid for my gas, went inside to get a coffee, and saw her with her uncle.
I asked if she was alright, then left.
End of story.
What would you have done?

I didnt realize the younger generation didnt understand this.
I have to say, I felt old!

Not much else that can be done. I have found my way into locked cars a few ways over the years but usually needed a tool. I have used a Saturn key to open a Honda before. On older cars, it was easier to use the wrong key on a car and get it open.

I dont carry a slim jim.
Her car was a newer jeep, I dont think she realized that cars are keyed differently.
Mine was an old 92 Mazda, my key definitely would not work.
I was more worried she would snap my key.
