    Hi Hi Woman Calls Orem Police To Free Her From Her Locked Car

    http://www.kutv.com/content/news/loc...3-3a2fd9347606
    Automatic car features are supposed to make life easier for motorists, but they may be leaving some people without the know-how to do things the old-fashioned way. That’s what happened to a driver in Utah County who became trapped inside her own car.

    A woman called Orem police Friday afternoon needing help because her battery died and she was locked inside her car.

    When police arrived, they found the woman sitting in the car, unable to get herself out. She couldn’t hear the officers instructions through the rolled-up windows so she motioned to them to call her on her cell phone, according to police.

    Once officers were able to talk to the woman on the phone, they were able to tell her how to manually operate the slide lock mechanism on the inside door panel to open the door and free herself.

    “I'm just glad she had a cell phone to call for help,” an officer said.
    wonder how old this lady was .and i bet she takes the auto maker to court on this. for mental stress being locked into her own car. bets are she'll win millions !

    I got two or three similar calls while working as a AAA wrecker driver in the early '90s.

    wow... I'd think back then, manual locks were a bit more common that they would've remembered....

    I'm willing to bet millions that you are incorrect. Even if she DOES sue, she won't win. And I doubt she sues.
