Default Locked out of my car!!!

Fucking shit.

Parked my car in the garage with the keys in the ignition.

I don't have a duplicate key made, so am I fucked?

Can anyone tell me if I could pick the lock on the Mustang door with a coat hanger? or should I just call Pop-A-Lock? How much does Pop-A-Lock charge?

thanks.

do you have AAA, or roadside assistance from a cellular company, or credit card company? Usually a lock smith charges about 65.00 a service call depending on where your at.

What year mustang is it? If up to 1993 you can easily use a flat tip screwdriver without damaging anything.

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.

My GF used a coathanger to open her door on her old Mustang, I talked her through it over the phone. It's very simple and won't hurt anything .

I couldn't get the coat hanger thing to work so I finally gave up and called AAA.

BTW, it's a 98.

i find a hide- a- key both economical and handy.
