Unfortunate Incident
Unfortunate incident - At a petrol station, my son who just turned 2 wriggled out of his carseat straps, I got out of the car with it running to put them back on and tighten them, as soon as I shut the drivers door, he pressed the lock button on the back door, attracted by it's little red light.
I then realised, phone, carkey etc.. were all on passenger seat. Eventually, the staff called the fire brigate. The window was vert strong after several blows with the pointed end of an axe, a windscreen saw was used. I recommend anyone hide the small plastic valet key somewhere on the outside of the car.

Oh dear. For future reference, you might want to call a breakdown service rather than the fire service. Last time I locked my key in the A6 the AA guy was in non-destructively in a couple of minutes.

OK it was a D3 but in Germany when my keys were locked in the boot the ADAC (German AA) chap took 20 minutes to open the driver's door. We kept telling him that would not help.
Took another 20 minutes for him to open the boot. Cost . . . . nothing, just good will.

Would your insurance cover that?

It seems like it, they didn't even ask how it happened.
The staff called Fire Brigade - maybe because it was a petrol station and the engine was running. If you think for a while there are some great places to hide the plastic key. |

As long as your son was ok, that’s the important bit Snap. Kids these days are too clever for their own good.
