Locked out!
A man locks his keys inside his car and is unable to get them out despite trying for an hour. A police officer comes along and offers to help. He discovers that the back door of the car is unlocked and he consequently recovers the keys. The man thanks him, but when the officer departs he locks the door, leaving the keys inside.

Was it because the man had called someone else who had a copy of the key he needed to get in, and by the time the officer got his keys out of the car, the other person had arrived with the other set of key(s)?

Was there a crime involved?

Did he lock the door on purpose?

Did the car belong to him?

Were the keys in the ignition when he locked them in?

Were the keys in the ignition when he locked the back door?

Is the car completely locked when the man re-locks the door?

The man had already called his wife who lived 100 miles away and convinced her to bring the spares. He wasn’t about to admit that it was useless and face her wrath!

Grin... it's all about experience ;)

My husband's friend locked his keys in the car... jay decided to help and got a hanger and rolled down the window and got the keys... he called his friend, who had called his parents in from a long way away to bring his copies, so the guy told jay to put everything back the way it was so they wouldn't get pissed.

I think I am losing brain cells in here. I don't even understand the prize. Looks like it is more of a punishment than a prize.
