Trying to get in the Christmas spirit by going to Party City and buying cards, wrapping paper and bows (all buy one get one free). Then heading to get paper to print our Christmas letter on. After getting home and stepping out of the car, reaching for the bags in the passenger seat the keys decided to drop ever so quietly out of the jacket pocket and onto the drivers seat. Without realizing it, the doors get locked. Heading to the back of the car to get a flat of water from the trunk the realization hits...the keys are not where they should be. Dang. "AAA, Hi yeah the keys are locked in the car." Someone will come and break into Black Beauty in 30 minutes at precisly 6:03pm.
Sitting on the ground in front of the garage and having many neighbors just walk by and try to look away so they did not have to make eye contact was sadening. Around 6:07pm Hadley Tow shows up. A very abrasive driver gets out and is muttering something about hating AAA they just sit there and rake in the money while he gets paid sweatshop wages... then looks up and says Merry Christmas and proceeds to sing Christmas Carols while breaking into Black Beauty. Suppose it is good news that the driver couldn't break into the car using the usual tools and had to use a pump thing to get the door open a bit and slid a bar down to try and get the keys which he also couldnt do. Finally he was able to hook the handle with the bar and get the door to open up.
