Yesterday at work I was sitting in the crew room on my break and one of my co-workers comes in looking for a coat hanger, she said she needed it because one of the customers asked if we had one so they could try and get into there car that they locked them selves out of.

Its times like this I wish I had my picks with me. You feel bad when you know you could have made a difference.

Spend some time learning what you can about car opening techniques.

While you may not have the model specific info right at hand, you will certainly be better equiped than the average fellow.

If you have a basic idea of where to go, and what to do, even the lowley coat hanger can become a useful tool, rather than a problem.

So did they get back into their car, or did they have to call someone?
It might also be handy to get a slim jim to keep at work just in case you, or someone else needs it.
