Guess it makes for a good story?

Long story short. P got locked in the car this afternoon. I don't know how the car locked because the keys were inside the car and it's not supposed to lock if they're in there. The MPs ended up breaking the glass after the firemen couldn't get the door pried open fast enough. He was in there about a total of 10 min and was okay, just scared from them breaking the glass. So now I have to figure out insurance and get everything fixed. And did I mention my husband is deployed? Not activities I wanted to add to my resume but am thankful that he was okay.

That's too scary!  I'm glad everything turned out okay, and I hope dealing with the insurance etc isn't too much of a pain in the rear.

Turns out we have a high deductible and it'll be cheaper to pay out of pocket. But, they offer a mobile service so they'll come to me! Worth the extra $25 for sure!

@NurseMommy13‌ My car has the key pad on it as well. I just had never learned the code. I was watching him and he was okay while they were trying to open the door. Once it hit close to the 10 min mark, I told them to break it.
Had the glass replaced today and learned it is cheaper to break the main window that rolls up and down. And you don't need a lot of force to break it. Which I think I knew, but it didn't come to me at the time. You live and you learn! My husband laughed when I told him we made the blotter.

@subliminalrabbit‌ I talked to the Lincoln dealer and he said if the button on the key fob is manually hit it will lock the car. I guess it inadvertently got hit down in the bag.

So glad everything turned out just fine! I can imagine it was stressful for you!

A couple of weeks ago, my mom had my son and my niece with her along with my sis-in-law. They were putting the kids in the car seats and my mom was letting my LO play with her car keys while she strapped him in. You can imagine where this is going. He locked to door, she shut the door at the same time my SIL did and immediately realized both kids were locked in the car along with both their cells. Luckily a couple was walking by, called 911 for my mom and a tow truck and a police cruiser were there within three minutes. My mom and SIL were both hot messes, bawling and my son was sitting in his carseat repeatedly hitting the lock button because it makes a beep noise. I know my mom was so upset, but I couldn't help but smile bc I can only imagine what she was like as this was unfolding. Shit happens, everything was fine.
