I agree with Mia, it's always a good idea to have a locksmith on speed dial! I've locked myself out so many times it's not even funny, I know my local locksmith by his first name and he knows me! Do you keep a spare key with you, too?http://www.malibulocksmith.com
Wow, I'm glad your niece was able to get her car unlocked! She must've been pretty nervous. Getting locked out can be a pretty scary thing though, so I completely understand. That's why it's so crucial that you have a locksmith's number on hand at all times. That'll help you rest easy, knowing that if you get in a sticky situation like that, someone can help you! http://www.sanpedrolock.co/Locksmith-Service-Long-Beach-CA.html
