Mine was yesterday... 3 hours into trying to sort out my Central Locking system that had locked me out, and then failed to re-lock the night before.
Here I am, both door panels off, trunk open, car ripped apart..trying to fix wiring and stupid double lock bullshit. I've got my car parked in my driveway at somewhat of an angle, blocking both my GTI and my wifes E46 into the garage. Wife reminds me that she needs to leave, So I go about moving the E30. Keys were last seen sitting in the trunk...
Somehow the trunk is locked. I start to panic. Did I leave the keys in trunk? FUCK.
So I search and search no to avail for my spare key. Stressing that my wife needs to leave for work in 10 mins, I panic some more.
What I do next is where the real Stupid comes into play. Convinced that I have locked the keys into the trunk, I squeeze my ass into the backseat
(I Have E46 seats installed, they don't lean forward or provide much room).
I tear out the rear seat bottom, unbolt the rear seat back, and start smashing the pass through cover with a BFH to knock it out.
Reach forward into the glovebox and grab my leatherman, and start sawing through the cardboard into the trunk. I've got one shoulder and an entire arm stuck through the passthrough, groping in the dark. The keys are not in the trunk. WTF!
Somehow in my panic fit of stupidity, I cut my arm on the newly smashed open hole. So I head inside to the bathroom to wash my wound..and what do I find?
My keys. Sitting on the counter where I placed them 15 minutes prior when I took a dump. Thats when the realization hit me that there is no way I could have locked the keys IN the trunk, as you need the key to lock it in the first place.
Good thing I was planning on upgrading to an armrest backseat.
