Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

I take it you dont want to smash the window ?
You'll have to slid a small hook type down the window and yank the metal cable/bar inside the door. IF you get my meaning.
Or i'll pop over and rip the door off with my 4x4

you can gently slide a small plastic/wood wedge into the top corner of the door between door/roof, this should give you enough room to slide a bit of
welding rod or a coat hanger with a hook on in to pull on handle and open either drivers or passenger door, have tried this myself, on many different
cars as sales staff/valeters like locking keys in cars!
it works on most cars and wont damage body work if you are carefull

When I locked my keys in a Fiesta this was the approach adopted by the AA - worked a treat but one thing I would say is try to protect the paint where
possible. If you do that it will leave no lasting problems.

Cut the base of the boot out with the angle grinder and patch it up. It won't be seen anyway
Sure you have it open by now anyway.

If you have a remote tailgate lever, there is a grommet immediately beneath it, remove grommet, thin bit of wire through the carpet, tug the
lever.....
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Hu-bloody-ray, job done.
Drove a wooden wedge in the top back corner of the passenger door and used a wire coat hanger.
Hooked the passenger door lock no problem but still couldn't open it, the handle needs to be pulled out towards the middle of the car rather
than back.
Plan B, cellotaped two lengths of hanger wire together and reached right over to the drivers side lock, this was not easy, a bit like hooking the
fairground duck times 100, plus the wife utterly failed to hold the torch steady and the stearing kept getting in the way.
But i'm in now so thanks guys.

Screwdriver one of the door locks off and work the linkage with your fingers or snipe nose pliers. You'll find the clips in the bottom after and
be able to put it back together. Sorry, too late, well done though.

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I know this kind of info is pretty well known, but it might be a good idea for scotty to delete this thread now as we don't want chav scum being
able to google too easily how to break into our donors / people's pride and joys!
Well done for getting in though!
Cheers,

I wouldn't worry. Most chavs would have learned all this in primary school.
If it happens again, use a length of that plastic packing strap with a specially shaped end (email for details).

Shouldn't happen again, iv'e given her indoors a spare key.Thanks again for all the quick advice, even the more humourous suggestions
using angle grinders helped to stop me getting too stressed.
Cheers guys.
