Actually I was pretty surprised when I locked my keys in my '01 dodge, my friend was able to get it open with a coat hanger and some extra wire. Just popped open the door handle, surprised how easy it was for a newer vehicle. I was ready to call AAA....

I don't even have keys for the '73, so she stays unlocked.  :o

I think Harbor Frieght sells a kit with the wedges etc that AAA would use.

      Just try that on say a newer Toyota, they have a plate welded in there to stop even a slim jim from going in.
