You left your cab with the keys still in the ignition ■■ Why would you do that ■■

Ooops :laughing:

What are paddy’s keys?

if you had an open window - a cb arial is a very usefull thing . They can be bent to shape and used to either get the window right down or the door open again. One to remember for the future .
paddys keys - lump hammer :wink:

You should have rang the dealer. There’s an easy way to open the doors or windows.

Bobbya…first of all you’ve incorrectly extended my quote… Secondly, removing my keys is naff all to do with paranoia…it’s to do with not getting locked out … :unamused: :unamused:

Mine were 4 hours away

Ive done this a few times, nothing to worry about as long as no one sees you.
Oops my bad, I appear to have totally miss-read the thread title… :blush:

I’ve done it parked right on the barrier…Que sera and yes, paddys keys.

Did exactly the same parked at the stores inside Norwich prison several years ago.
‘Not to worry’ says the storeman and shouted for his ‘trusty’ (stores inmate)
Gave him a small stainless steel teaspoon and he had it open in less than five seconds!

Did it on my old erf when I first started driving. The lock flap would slip over locking the door on occasions.

A broom handle and a pop up sun roof was always handy :grimacing:

Really, its a design fault if a cab lets you do this. Volvo FH12s were notorious for it. The 3 series Scanias could be opened by poking a needle or pin into the right coloured wire in the wiring loom behind the front grille then earthing it.

I did this in mine about 4 weeks ago. On the weigh bridge. So I explained kindly to the security man that I was about to break every H&S rule and climb on top of wagon, open the sun roof and use the Shepherd Crook we have to open the door.

I learnt this technique when I first locked myself out of the wagon when the engineer came out and said “happy days” then proceeded to do the above mentioned technique
