Yep, the AA especially have ways of gaining entry, when you are asked to look away!  ;D ;)

Ignition on is the world's easiest lockout, using tools you probably have:


Gently pry the top rear of the door away from the body(brick bolster, meat cleaver), and insert a door wedge.
Bend a hook onto a piece of metal rod(stiff coat hanger, brake pipe etc) and insert into the gap.
Operate the electric window switch.


Taping the paintwork and end of the rod is a good idea to prevent damage.




Why isn't there a spare key available?
