Locked Out

Today I got to work and grabbed my stuff out of the passenger seat, while I was grabbing my stuff I put my keys on the driver seat. As I shut the door I realized my keys were still in the truck. We still haven't made an extra set since Jen got her purse stolen with the keys in it while we were in CA. What a great way to start the day out. I called a few lock smiths and they were all around $90. I didn't want to pay that much so I searched Google to see if there was cheaper way. No good solutions were found but there were a few cocky suggestions like "break your window" or "call the dealer and have them make a new set of keys". That actually got me thinking, since we needed a new set of keys anyway what would it take to get a set made. I was sure the would be expensive too. But I figured why not give it a shot. So I called the local dealer and they said if I brought in my truck it wouldn't be a problem. I told them my only set of keys were in the truck. They said to bring in the VIN number with proof of insurance then. I asked what it would cost and the guy said $15. I couldn't believe a dealer would sell something that cheap. So Jen cut her trip to St Cloud short to drive back and make me a key and we saved about $70. What a nice wife I have.
