A couple from New Zealand locked themselves IN their car. They didn't have the key fob and didn't realize that you can just reach down and unlock the door. They were stuck in the car for 13 hours - FREAKING OUT the entire time.  They were screaming and blasting the horn hoping for help to come. At one point they even tried to bust out a window with a tire iron.  A neighbor eventually heard their calls for help and came over to let them out.

The husband, who considers himself ''very methodical'',  told the Otago Daily Times that he could not find the unlocking mechanism - ''Once I found out how simple it was to unlock it I kicked myself."
