Woman reports being locked
in her own car
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
A woman who found herself locked inside her car Tuesday morning called Lafayette police to help get her out.
The incident happened at 6:55 a.m., when the woman’s black Honda Civic broke down while driving along U.S. 287 and South Boulder Road.
Lafayette police Sgt. Fred Palmer said the woman’s car battery apparently died, rendering the power locks useless.
“When it quit running, she couldn’t get the doors open,” Palmer said. “The dispatcher tried to talk her through it, but the lady said, ‘I have no power, it won’t work.’”
Because it was rush hour and the woman was panicked, Palmer said, officers were sent to help show her how to manually unlock the car from the inside.
While officers were on the way, he said, the woman called dispatchers back and said she figured it out on her own.
Police sent a tow truck to help the woman, Palmer said.
Palmer said it’s the first call of its kind that he can recall.
“We’ve had people locked out — not in,” he said.

Locked in her car... at least it kept her
from driving erratically whilst talking
on her cellphone.

In SoCal, Hondas and Acuras are the car of choice for robbers, gang bangers and illegal immigrants. Whenever there is one of L.A.'s famous, nightly, televised high-speed chases, it will invariably be a Honda or Acura that the criminal is driving.
