Locked out, used another ford key
I was helping my brother move and was loading my 2004 Ranger in an alley behind his place. I had to hop in and out a few times as we were loading to let people by. I rested my elbow next to the window and accidentally locked the door before I got out. When I realized my mistake my Dad suggested trying other Ford keys that anyone nearby might have. Among the keys I tried was an old beat up Windstar key (mid 90s). To my astonishment the key opened my truck!!! I don't know if it was actually a match or just happened to be worn down just right.

After the incident I took my key to have a copy made and they simply said they couldn't do it - I have to take it to a dealer. I took it a few different places and they all said the same thing, but I bet I could find a mom-and-pop place that would do it. I'd like to make copies of the Windstar key but haven't had a chance.

This is highly illegal. You have been traced and the FBI will arrive shortly. Surrender peacefully and no one will be hurt.

The same thing happened with a friend of mine. He owns a 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport and a 1995 Ford Mustang GT. He accidentally locked his keys in his Mustang while at his dad's house. Coincidentally, his dad had a spare to the Torino and it fit and UNLOCKED his Mustang. I wasn't as lucky though several weeks ago when I locked my keys in my 2005 Explorer...my sister's Escort key would NOT work.
