Woman calls 911 to report that she's locked inside her car

The dispatcher asked the woman if she was able to manually pull the lock up on the door. The woman said she would try, and then, she said, "Yes, I got the door open." (Orlando Sentinel)

I hope it's an April Fool's joke by the paper. If not, the F-state probably wins the day.

I read this stoy somewhere and I don't know if it was true, but after reading this, it sure could be.

A man approached a woman in a parking lot who was visibly upset (crying) standing next to her car. She told him that the battery in her keyless entry remote was dead, and she couldn't get into her car. And she needed to be somewhere shortly and was wondering if a nearby store would have a battery.

He asked her if she had her ignition key as well. It was on the same kwyring as the remote. He ssugested she try putting the key into the door and trying it.

I think the story ended describing how she thanked the man for being so smart.

RMM,

Sorry, clicked before finished.

The red link is to an article and is at the bottom of every page on the website - it has nothing to do with this story

In related news:

This same woman's (also blond) sister was stranded for almost 30 minutes on the escalator at the mall when the power went down earlier today.....

She was overheard to exclaim, "Thank God they got it started again so quickly...I had other places I needed to go!"

[me]

Family Guy did it first...

[Dick C. Normas]

Oh ... Like you never did that??!?

[MONKEY JERK]

WAS SHE BLOND?

In Texas we tell Aggie jokes (Texas A&M Aggies). A classic one is:

Did you hear about the Aggie who locked his keys in the car? It took two hours to get his friends out.

[tinybubbles]

you may think this woman is stupid but weird electrical things happen in cars all the time.

I have a door (rear passenger) on my (piece of crap) Honday Odyssey (2005) that will not unlock. The manual lock will not stay in the unlock position (of course the electric lock/unlock button on the front door or remote key won't work on this door either).
The lock makes this weird buzzing sound when you try to unlock the door (manually) and drops back into the lock position. Lucky for the me the problem is only with one door.

BUT electrically weird thing happen in cars all the time.
so MAYBE this woman's car was just having a weird moment.

BTW on this same Honda, same door, the door would not slide in automatic mode for about a year (manual mode was OK) then, out of the blue, the door started working in automatice mode again. I'm just saying.........
