Default Locked my keys in.....

Went out to the garage earlier on to sort out where to mount my new fire extinguisher (had a Bugeye Sprite go up once - don't fancy a repeat!!). Sat in the car with the keys in my pocket. Locked it with the slider when I got out (it didn't have a remote when I bought it, and I haven't sourced one yet (I know, I know). Then I realised that the keys had slid out of my pocket, and were locked in.
I searched the forum and found the answer. I pulled the top of the window out just far enough to hook them and be able to get them through the gap.
I was sweating that I might break the glass, because getting one here in the UK would br tricky and expensive.
THANK YOU FORUM!!!! I don't know what I'd do without your combined knowledge. First thing Monday, I'll be getting some spares cut!

I came back in the house and told my wife I'd broken the window, waited for her to go mad, then waved the keys at her.......not at all childish!!
