So this morning started out wonderful with locking Kylee in the car along with my purse, keys, and cell phone. How stupid do I feel? VERY!!!
Our car locks automatically once you start it. Stupid car! Well, I forgot to push unlock before I closed the door while I was cleaning the snow off the car. First thought that came to my mind: break the window. So glad I didn't follow through.
I asked a neighbor for a phone and phone book. He ended up giving me a boost up to my second story porch to find out the back door was locked. Did I mention this neighbor just moved in. (Welcome to the neighborhood dude. He might be contemplating his move here). Thank goodness for friends that live close by (thank you Brandie). A locksmith was called and came quickly.
He just had to insert a little pump to jar the door enough to insert a metal stick to roll down the window. Then I unlocked the door from there. Such a valuable service, especially when your child is in there, but so darn expensive. Talk about a mark up.
I will now be looking into getting a spare key that is not with Kurt in Washington D.C.

You should have called the cops. I thought that if your car was locked and left running, they will come out and unlock it for free; especially if there is a child locked in. (That could be one of those "urban legend" stories, though.) Anyway, glad it worked out ok.
I hate that! We've done that to braxton twice! 150 is way extreme though the last time I did that it was 35 dollars! Definate mark up!
Wouldn't that be nice to make that much an hour? Hmm I think I might invest in a special pump.
Oh no! I remember when that happened to your neighbor Brandie sometime last year. I bet it will happen to me.
Yeah, Brandie told me about her incident and the one with being locked out of her apartment too. Doesn't sounds like fun. I just hope I am not blonde enough to do it again. Fingers crossed
We had the same thing happen to us and learned the same lesson $150 later, although we were locked out of our house not our car. Major bummer! You might want to invest in Triple A, it costs less than that a year and they will always come get you into your car for free.
Oh how scary!! I'm glad you got to her, but that is WAY expensive. Stupid city fees
