Tom and Barney got out & locked the car in a hurry, forgetting to remove the key which was in the ignition.
Realizing their mistake, Tom asked, "Why don't we get a coat hanger to open it."
"No, that won't work" answered Barney. "People will think we're trying to break in."
Then Tom suggested, "What if we use a pocket knife to cut around the rubber, then stick a finger in and pull up the lock?"
"No," said Barney. "People will think we're too dumb to use a coat hanger."
"Well," sighed Tom, "we'd better think of something quick. It's starting to rain, and the sun roof is open!"
