    Lads.

    Disaster. Locked my keys into the car on Griffith avenue on the way to get exam results.

    Anybody know anywhere that can sort this for me ASAP?

    Need to collect my exam results before 5pm Or I have to wait two weeks.

    Taxi man isn't going to do much good when my keys are in the ignition of the car and I don't want to abandon it like that.

    maybe you should edit the location of the car with keys !!

    your results wont change in 2 weeks so get them then !!

    deal with the car issue now.

    Won't be leaving the car unattended either way so no need to edit.

    Long story behind leaving the results uncollected for two weeks but doing that means extending my college by one year and costing me 2.5k.

    Waiting to see if I can the results collected by courier and my brother will bring my spare to me at 8

    Pretty hard to get through a laminate windscreen without a cutting tool.

    does your insurance have roadside assistance included?

    I'd take the risk of leaving it, and hoping in a taxi to get the results before 5pm

    Get the brother to go to the car and look after it in the meantime

    2.5k would buy you a new 98 corrolla
