I am talented (ottoluv)

That's impressive, Kelly! 

I'm pretty sure that a competent locksmith will be able to pick the "unpickable lock" if need be.  If all else fails, they can just change the lock again.

Or you  could get a set of burglar tools and keep them in the trunk of your car ..... and hope you never get stopped and searched.

No, here's talent - I have Kenya in the car and we arrive at the training club.  I put all my things in my dog bag (including my keys) and have it sitting on the front seat so I can get the dog and grab the bag.  I get out, but can't open the back door because I only hit unlock once, so it only unlocked the front.  I shut the back door, open the front door and press the button twice, then slam the door.  I pressed the button the WRONG way and locked my keys and my DOG in the car, all the windows up, in the sun, in the summer, and the dog is lying on a black hammock. F(&#(%*("#!!!  I call DH but he is at work, 45 mins away and he can't get off anyway since he's a security officer.  Thank God this random guy was there, the training club owner was babysitting his kid and he was there to pick him up, so he got a hanger out of his car and jimmied my door open.  Kenya just sat there on the back seat the entire time, wondering what the big deal was and not eating my chocolate chip cookies that were sitting on the front seat with the car keys. 

As for keys...I have a key to my grandpa's apartment.  It looks a lot like the key to our old apartment.  One time (before we moved out of our apartment) we went to visit grandpa and I just stuck in the key and went in.  Turns out our apartment key opened my grandpa's building! 

my friend and me live in the same apartment complex. her door is one of those that locks itself when you just close it, so she tends to lock herself out. she always keeps a key with me. and i keep one with her, just in case, although my bf, sister and maid also have one.

if you know anyone close by, that you think you could trust with your key, then leave one there...

for that matter i dropped stuff into the elevator shaft as well... nothing important yet, but i am super paranoid about dropping my keys or something. when i step in and out of the elevator i grab my keys so hard, it's pathetic... lol

Many years ago, I locked myself out of the house - had company and my son was a little guy.  I don't know what was worse - the embarrassment of doing that or paying the locksmith $35 for 3 seconds worth of work.

A few years ago, before I knew better, I had a car load of dogs & had stopped to get some iced tea from my favorite place.  I got out of the car & left it running with the A/C going because it was warm.  The car WAS unlocked.  When I walked up to the car one of the dogs in my car was sooooo excited to see me again that she jumped up on the window & locked my car.  I'm standing outside the car sweating bullets & trying to tell Molly to unlock the car.  She's sitting there looking @ me all happy with her ears blowing in the cool air.  She looked really cute but that wasn't getting me back in the car. ~L~  Fortunately my neighbor was home & he got my other car keys for me.  Since then I always have 2 sets of car keys with me if I have dogs in my car & it's warm.

 I'm awful about locking myself out.  I'm getting a new door in a while and I'm going to go ahead and shell out the hundred bucks for the lock that has the keypad you can program a code into.  They also just had a news feature about a new strikeplate that can't be kicked in like the normal ones, it's steel, runs the full length of the door and uses super long screws that reach all the way to the studs and not just the jamb. 

Dropping the keys down the elevator chute, that's real talent though!   

Usually, if I go and run errands, be it business related or not, I will have a dog with me and I make sure I have two sets of keys for the vehicle......I never lock the house.....why should I ? If a burglar sees 5 dogs with flying spit and teeth showing, why would this person break in?

If he decided to break in and 5 snarling dogs didn't stop him......then what would a locked door change???

Oh no, forget locking dogs in the car...you know what's the BEST??

I went to the car wash once, took my cousin's daughter (oh, can you see it coming??)..I'm gonna guess she was 3. And usually she got out with me when I was washing the car, but that day she didn't want to, and it was a cool enough day, so I said fine... now at the car wash I ALWAYS keep my keys on me. Always. But that day..I guess since Alleen was staying in the car I was discombobulated or something, so my keys ended up staying in the car.. I do a real quick wash job, go to open the door, and OH it's locked! Okay, so I'm trying to yell to Alleen to hit the unlock button, but she can't understand which way to push it (it was a lever, so I'm telling her to push it UP, and she's pushing it down...sigh..), so I gave up on that, and tried to get her to pull the actual lock (which would've made the alarm go off when I opened the door..but I would've been in the car, so no biggie)..but she can't get that either... And she's laughing, thinks this is HILARIOUS... THANK GOD I had my cell phone on me..so I called my mom at work, cause she had the extra key..but she didn't have a CAR because I had it! So she had to send my brother-in-law (they work together) with the extra key, because I let the 3 year old get locked in the car... That was pretty horrifying. I've never taken Alleen with me to wash a car again, but I taught her later that day how to unlock the car doors.
