When I show my car,I always forget things or where I put them.
One time I locked my ignition & trunk key inside my Chevelle trunk,as well as locked both doors.
No second spare set @ home either.
I had to wait for the show to empty out,then hitch a ride back home to retrieve a slim-jim,my tool box and some portable lights.I brought it all back to the show field which was now completely empty,in a corn field and near midnight.I opened a door with the slim-jim,removed the back seat back,then used all of my socket extensions that I had @ that time to just barely reach into the trunk and un-bolt the bolts holding the trunk striker from inside the trunk.It worked,and since then before every show,I put a piece of two way tape inside my pants pocket,and then insert both the second back up ignition & trunk keys to that piece of two way tape,holding them tightly inside my pocket and holding the pocket closed.
..Never again.
