It has happened once before two years ago and I vowed for it never to happen again but it did. I was taking the toolkit out of the car boot and shut it.
Back to the house and only then was the realisation that I didn't have the key for the front door These were on a key ring along with the car keys. Where the hell were the car keys? you guessed, they were now locked in the boot.
On the last occasion I had to take the back seat out and fondle my way in the dark but last time the gas cylinder hadn't been installed. Not only that the car was lock and I thought I wouldn't even be able to get in the car.
Every cloud has a silver lining, last time I had to break the window winding mechanism to get in the car, this was still broken so the window just rolled down with a little downward pressure with the palm of my hand.
The sliver lining ended there as the whole seat had to be removed within the confines and in the darkness of the garage with a 40 watt light bulb above and no torch at hand, that was in the boot it was a task and a half on hand now.
One hour later the keys were recovered and my hand ripped to shreds going backwards and forwards against the metal braces. Groping for keys at the back on to the boot therefore the furthest point from the inside access point!
On placing the seat back after the key recovery the leads the radio speakers could only be reached to the left speaker, therefore no more stereo without taken the gas system out! Bloody Bad Luck all round really.
And all I wanted was my tool kit out of the boot!
