In the early 80s, we rented stables in a large livery yard. One of the
riding instructors was always leaving the keys in her car's ignition and
then locking them inside. You can't lock our present car's driver's door
without using the key, but cars then didn't have that mechanism.

The first time the riding instructor locked her keys in she asked everyone
in the yard if they could try their keys to see if any one would open the
door. Ours did. We had a Ford, she had an Austin. She found two other people
who's keys fitted her car - another Austin and a Morris (owned at the time
by Austin). We lived closest to the yard, so whenever she locked the keys
in, we'd get a phone call if none of the other two people were in the yard.
Fortunately she had a spare key at home so we didn't get called there.
