So, I have a bit of a hectic day today and my morning started out (pretty bad). Maybe you can offer some advice (other than the obvious).
I woke up this morning and went over the bank (at 7am). Was a ghost town but needed some cash because I was enroute to pick something up which I had to pay cash for right away. Went into the ATM with my wallet but left phone and keys in the car (yes...I hear the groaning).
Did my quick withdrawal and back to my car. Pressed the door handles and they deployed (proplerly) and off I went.
Went to pick up some food for an event I'm having and I asked the guy I was meeting to wait for me outside. He wasn't avaialbe so I ran into his store and left my keys and phone in the car. I spent all of 4 minutes in his store and when I came out, my car wouldn't open. Door handles would not present themselves. I pushed on them, I tried shaking the car, I tried opening the trunk... nothing. I kept trying over a period of 5-7 minutes but it was FREEZING cold and my jacket was in the car, so I gave up and went back in.
I went back inside the store and called my wife from the store landline and asked her to bring the extra keys (keep in mind, I changed the battery on my key less than 2 weeks ago - so it is a brand new battery).
Waited about 15 minutes for my wife to arrive and figured, let me give it one last try... and the door handles popped open.
No rhyme or reason as to why.
Now, I know the obvious solution is not to leave keys and phone in the car but is there something else I could have or should have done?
