We've just been watching the autopsy on Robin Williams.

He would have had some fun with this scenario. :D

Pizza delivery driver. Delivers to mates house. Goes away.

Half hour later mate notices, pizza delivery driver and car still there, outside house. Lights on. Driver looking lost.

Mate thinks odd, but carries on with his day.

1 hour later. Driver still there. Mate thinks about enquiring, but the phone rings and he's busy for an hour.

So two hours later as he gets off the phone. Driver knocks on the door. It's now dark, lights are very dim on the car.

Driver asks. In broken English "Have you got a key that will fit my car?" ;D

Seems he's gone back to the car, a Corsa, after delivering the pizza, and the car has locked itself with the keys in the ignition. Presumably he's left the engine running, shut the door and the driver security feature(?) if it has it?.... has locked the car to keep him safe assuming he's in it. When he isn't. ::) no occupancy sensor on these then?

Anyway, an innocent mistake apparently as it happens a lot.

But, seeing a BMW and Range Rover evoke on the drive, he asks my mate, the owner of these cars "do you have a key that will fit my car" a Corsa ;D ;D ;D

There followed a good 2 hour session of said mate, trying to help the guy out by opening the car without busting anything. Only to have about 15 other broken English guys turn up from the various shops in the area to try and help. All offering random advice and ideas on how to brake in and none of them actually helping in the slightest.

In fact, one was so keen to open the door handle at just the right moment to make the home made tool slip off the door pin that he was invited to stand away from the car or, if he touched car again, there might be a slight modification "...to both his oppsin arms" ;D ;D

The lad looked perplexed until his colleagues translated, where by he stood silent at the rear of the car for the remainder of the episode. ;D

But all was well, with happy pizza men, although slightly shocked as when the door did finally pop open there where so many wedges and levers holding the door frame away from the body that it did so with a loud bang and explosion of tools and clattering as all the implements hit the floor.

Several minutes of thanking and hand shaking afterwards he gets offered £100 of free pizza. All at once. ;D an offer that was completely forgotten a week later when he ordered again.

I believe this is the same company who's driver I met head on driving the wrong way up a motorway slip road.
