Lesson learned, lube your locks  |
My boot lock was the same, which again I only discovered while I was investigating the driver's door lock issue. Couldn't even get the key in it at first, never mind turn it! It was like there was a key broken off inside; turns out it was just compacted road crud.
Lashings of lube did the trick for me too. I usually use
this stuff though. Much better and longer lasting than WD40 I find.

Damn, that must've been somewhat annoying! How did you get back in (assuming you did, and the car's not still there of course!)?
