Yes When it was about 40 below, I got into my car after work and miraculously got it started. I turned on the defrosters and jumped out to start scrapping the ice off the windows....and force of habit...hit the lock on the way out!!!!

I have a vague memory of doing it once with my first or second car in high school, but I can't recall anything specific. We'll go with once.

Yes, once many many years ago when I got a new car. Had to call my mother who had an extra set to help me out. Car was running parked at a friend's. I was ready to break the window. Now I don't have to worry about that. New (used) car has a security system, and I can punch in a code on the door to unlock the door (easy to remember--it's the date I got the car.)

Not since I got a Honda. They have a system that makes it impossible to lock the keys in the car. (No, not virtually impossible. Honda makes it totally impossible!)

my husband does it all the time. he's a constant door locker. i don't lock the doors at all. now the cruiser locks them for me. it once locked itself when i got out to get the mail at work, and i had to flag down a passerby to use his cell phone, to call my husband, as all my stuff was locked inside. you can only unlock the car with the beep-beep.

Yes, over the years, quite a few times. Once had to be rescued by now-ex husband. Locked self out of my truck and then had a hideakey that was useful a couple of times before it disappeared. ACK! Later, the truck was very old and the lock on the camper shell was broken and I remember twice having to climb into the camershell and squeeze through the little window to retrieve a key.. once I was at the vet and had locked the key in while getting a large dog out and I was in a knee brace after ripping out my ACL and crawling in there was very painful! and then there was the time I was coming out of a job interview that took place in one of those shiny buildings where people could see out but you couldn't see in.. so I come out of the interview in a wool suit, very hot day, interview nerves and I'm locked out, so I have to crawl into this truck bed/camper shell, in the suit, figuring all the people in all the shiny buildings MUST be watching! (I did get that job, though). Current car, twice in last couple of years, oops, three times.. once in Yuma, AZ on the way home from Tucson, had to call autoclub from the gas station, then the infamous time last Thanksgiving when I left them in the car at the airport, but actually I wasn't locked out, just needed to call autoclub because the battery was fried due to key on ACC, and then after that at a local gas station but at least had my cell and autoclub came right out. (I love autoclub!!) Actually I would say at least 6-7 times.

Once. Unfortunately it was before I married someone with a lockout tool.

Yes once with the motor running and my infant son in the car. He laughed and smiled the whole time until my ex husband could get there with extra keys. Can't do it with the car I have now.

No, I don't think I ever have. When I came close a couple of times however, I switched to wearing my key on a long "leash" which is fastened to me and I actually can keep in place while driving, so that reduces the danger....although never say never!!!

Yes, I've done it three times. Once at the mall, and had to call a locksmith and cost me $30. Another time at a friend's house, but luckily had a window opened just enough that my friend was able to squeeze her arm in and unlock the door. And one time I locked my keys in the trunk, but was able to flag down my dad just as he was leaving the house - he had a spare set of keys with him. It's been years though since either of those instances took place, and we now have AAA in case it were to happen again.

NOt me but a friend of mine did--she has an automatic starter--started the car, went to put groceries in the trunk and accidently dropped' her keys in the trunk prior to closing it--so the car is running the keys are locked--her cell phone is dead..poor girl was in hysterics(snowing too) before a kind soul let her borrow a cell phone and she got a hold of her neighbor--who came and got her--took her home so she could get a spare set(no one was home but she had a hide-a-key)--and drove her back..

My cousin locked herself out of the car with her 1 year old inside. It was not started and pretty warm. It would have taken someone at least 30 minutes to get her a key. So they busted out a little side window and everything was okay. Until they went to replace the window, it cost her $500 to replace it, the guy said it would have been cheaper to bust one of the bigger windows or even the windshield. But I bet she'll never lock her keys in her car again...
