Here's one too crazy to make up. I floated the Yakima River with a guy that asked me to go along in his new rubber raft flyfishing model, maiden voyage. Part way down our float he caught a nice trout, wading along the bank, and I took a picture of it. At the end of our float, and getting near dark, he began going through things in the boat, gear bags, fishing vest, cooler. I asked him what he was looking for. He finally tells me his keys. He says to me, "You remember when you took that picture of the fish I caught? I bent over when you took the picture." Off he goes running out to the river road, and sticks his finger out trying to catch a ride. He didn't have a 2nd set, and I was sure I was going to sleep under his suburban. He catches a ride with a gal in a volkswagen, tells her to stop when he thinks he sees the drift where he caught the trout..finds a wading stick, and has to get across the Yakima to the other side,( Fall low water conditions, but the Yak is a big river) When he makes it to the other side he begins to wade down the bank telling me he is muddying the water as he is going along, and has to stop to let it clear....a shiny object, and he picks up his keys! Back across the river, catches a ride, and I get to sleep in my bed that nite.

If i have to have a key, I hang it off my dog tag chain. It can be a little annoying at first, but at least I know it is there. Question, don't the worst trips usually end up with the best stories though?

Thanks for the uncontrollable laughter your video gave me! Next time hide you keys somewhere on the undercarriage of your vehicle they can be almost impossible for a thief to find, much like that socket that drops in there while working on your vehicle!

Yeah I know all about the smallest window in the truck. I had a similar trip to yours fishing for smallies on the New River about 4 years ago except we flipped the conoe. Busted the triangular vent window out of my old F-150 because the keys were locked inside. That sucker was 4x more expensive than the big roll down window.

I have a key-pad on my door, so I always purposely lock my keys in the truck. I keep my spare in the cupholder, so if I lose my big keychain, I can at least start the truck. My last truck didn't have the keypad entry, so I hid my keys in the front bumper.

Sorry, I helped design molded trim glass a long time ago. Cheaper to take out some windshields, but not a good idea since it is laminated and it is hell driving without one (and some Land Rover windshields go for more than $1,500). Door glass gets eaten up by labor so you can't win anyway.

Sharp edge of thick metal works great, by the way, but who carries that.

Some guys up north got stuck on a snowy two track a few miles off road. Got out with the engine running and shut the door - oops! Yeah, it was a GM truck. Found out about the "small" glass the same way you did.

I am still ticked off at GM for removing the passenger side door lock. Didn't even notice it wasn't there on a new truck until I pulled up close to some aspens and got out the passenger side. Remote key fob died and I had to uproot some trees to get into the driver side door. Cursed cost cutting.

I turn off the auto lock feature and place the keys in a deep pocket or hidden close by. There is a spare somewhere on the truck but I can't remember where.

im not sure about other cars but ford you can all a hotline i believe you set up when you buy your car or truck to unlock your car when you call and give them your password dads done it a couple of times. I m going to sound like a car thief with this next one but you can also drive a coat hanger down threw the seal on your door and hit the door lock ive done it with a with a fishing pole and a screw driver before to. the seals cost about $15 as you usually have rip the seal open. This maybe a myth but ive been told with newer key fobs you can use a bluetooth phone and have a person on the the line hit the unlock button never tried it. My last choice is breaking window and the video is pretty funny.

At least the boat did not sink, sorry for the luck you had.

i believe you could have just looked to see if there was an emergency unlock on your car, for people like firefighters/paramedics. If that was no success, use some of your gear similar to a coat hanger and unlocked the door
