I did a classic school boy error today [emoji15]
Managed to lock keys in the cab of my MAN TGM by pressing the lock button by window switches to lock passengers door then getting out and shutting drivers door and it locked !
I phoned office and got the ok to use paddy’s key so now got to get quarter light replaced arrgh!
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 .

You left your cab with the keys still in the ignition ■■ Why would you do that ,why wouldn’t you do that,depending on where you are,not everyone is out to do you over,why are people so paranoid now?

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 …

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!
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
