I saw exactly this situation once, in Oregon. The driver had not only locked himself out but left the engine and the a/c running. It was a hot evening, and the windows were actually iced over, inside. A driver with a spare set of keys was on the way...from Portland, eight hours distant.
March 2019, far upstate NY, 17 degrees, fresh snow on the ground. My cousin & I followed the hearse with her brother to the graveyard. We were all sitting in our cars waiting for something to happen (Too cold to wait outside). 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes finally one of the guys came by to tell us what was going on, "They locked the keys in the hearse!" Fortunately it is a small town so it didn't take long for someone to run across town and get the spare keys! A memorable exit! RIP Michael!
'Anyone got the number to that 24 hour mobile locksmith company?' Aw, $#!+ the phones' in there too?'
ReplyDeleteI was always under the impression one person stayed in the truck behind the wheel. I'll pay closer attention next time?
ReplyDeleteThat was the rule I heard
