For me it was 1967. I got out of the truck to open a gate, absentmindedly hit the lock as I got out. So there I was, in -20 weather, standing outside my running truck with no way in, and cattle gathering round to investigate the incident, hoping to mooch an ear of corn or make a break for freedom through the open gate. That's the last time I've gotten out of a vehicle without first making sure the key is in my hand or in my pocket.

Called AAA upon finding myself locked out of my 05. Key was in the hatch area. Yeah, I know you don't need to say it. They were unable to get in either by picking the lock or by the window entry method. Finally resolved this with a trip to the house and the other key. What if I'd been on a trip and 500 miles from home? Needless to say I considering contingency plans. Careful out there.
A few cuts and slices and dices to make it small and a bit of hot melt glue to keep it from slipping out of the keeper.. put it back together with a double loop and you have a nice thing to clip your fob to a belt loop or to your belt.
Two bucks to save a lot of greif!
