Locked keys in 87 4x4 pickup

[GearHead]

So I pulled the awesome maneuver of locking my keys in my '87 with the engine running. I was surprised after pulling up the window trim that I could actually see the mechanism that unlocks the door and was able to pull it up easily with a coat hanger. Took about 2 minutes. I guess that's a benefit of having an older truck, but makes me not want to leave anything valuable inside...

Oh bum deal. I'm glad you got your stuff out. I have extra keys hidden in strategic places. This is a good lesson for anyone to learn.

And for sure carnappers, knew about this too! But who would carnap an 87 pick up?

Back in school I worked for a pizza delivery joint and one of the drivers always left his keys in his car. He had to one day call in (back in the days before no cell phones) because some local kids at an apartment complex ran up and locked his doors while the keys were inside and the engine was running. haha, probably not funny to him at the time, funny to the rest of us.

I don't think hiding keys in "strategic" places is a fun and a good idea at all. It may be discovered by anyone and compromise the safety of your car.

For the future, I would suggest getting a couple spare keys made. You could keep one in your wallet in case this happens again!
