Smurf has a way of doing that to people, as I know well. The sneaky little thing will snag your keys as soon as you let your guard down. There the keys will be, dangling innocently from the ignition as if they were supposed to be in there with all the doors and windows locked. Any way of getting home yet? If someone at your workplace has AAA (may be worth asking around), they could call for you (as long as the cardholder calls them and is there to present their card, they don't ask questions). They'd have to give AAA the address and the nearest major intersection, and a phone number where they can reach you when they're just about to get there. They have rescued me with a slimjim several times. I don't remember if I was ever able to get that car open with a coathanger or not but I remember doing that once (not sure it was smurf though).

Glad I could help! I know how completely annoying that situation can be!

And Tim is so busy plotting zombie escapes that the lateness didn't botehr him at all.

If something like that ever happens again, just give me a call since I'm off during the day. I don't usually check e-mail until the evenings, so e-mailing me wouldn't do much good.
