Keys Vanished - Panic Sets In!
My soul just about stopped when I figured out that my car keys were missing. I feverishly searched the entire house, but they were nowhere to be seen. I'm feeling stressed because now I have no way to attend my appointment.
I've already looked all the usual locations, like my pockets. Maybe they're hidden somewhere? I even considered the possibility that a mischievous gremlin might have stolen them.
This is a disaster. What am I going to think?
Locked Out
It's a real pain, standing here with your shopping bags galore and realizing you've got your transponder stuck in the vehicle. You check every pocket but they're completely absent. Now what? Do you call a locksmith or try to break in? Maybe there's a way to unlock the door... but before you try anything risky, pause for a moment. There are some things you can try first.
Stranded in My Car : A Tale of Two Vehicles
It was/were a scorching summer day and my trusty truck/SUV/car decided to choose/pick/select this moment to fail/quit/break down. I was totally/completely/utterly stranded/stuck/locked out, sweating profusely in the blazing heat. Just as I was about to freak out/panic/lose it, I saw a glimmer of hope: my neighbor's shiny new sports car/convertible/luxury sedan parked across the street. Thinking/Assuming/Hopiing that they might have a spare key/tool/set, I raced over and knocked/rapped/pounded on their door. To my surprise/disappointment/shock, no one answered.
My luck seemed to be as bad/terrible/awful as the heat. Back at my own vehicle/ride/carnage, I tried everything/any trick in the book/all the obvious things to get in, but nothing worked.
Help! I Can't Get Into My Car!
I am so upset right now. My car door is stuck and I can't get in! I've tried every trick in the book, but nothing is successful. I'm utterly desperate. I have a appointment to get to and I don't know what to do! Is there anyone who can give me advice?
- What should I do?
- Is there a quick fix?
- Do you know any car mechanics in the area?
I'm feeling completely defeated. Please, any help would be extremely helpful!
