911 call: Woman locked inside car

KISSIMMEE , Fla., April 1 (UPI) -- Authorities in Florida said a woman dialed 911 to report that she had locked herself in her car and the electrical system wasn't working.

The Kissimmee, Fla., woman told the dispatcher that the locks wouldn't work due to the electrical trouble but apologized after she was instructed to lift the manual lock with her hand, WESH-TV, Orlando, Fla., reported Wednesday.

"Um, I'm sorry," the embarrassed woman said after unlocking the door.

Officials stressed that the incident was a serious call and not an early April Fools' Day joke

reminds me a bit of the women that died here last winter:

Hypothermia Kills Woman Who Locked the Keys in Her SUV

shitville: Mobile area woman Sandra Ordner, 47, died from hypothermia just hours after she went hiking in the mountains in North Carolina on January 31. The last contact she had with anyone was with her husband at 9 a.m. to say she'd be out hiking.

Police in Macon County, NC, took a call at 1:17 a.m. that night from her husband saying she was missing. The next morning at 10 a.m., her body was found by a nearby resident in a parking lot for the Whiteside Mountain Trail, a 2-mile-long loop.

She was found next to the passenger side and smudges could be seen on windows of her Land Rover. No rocks or sticks were found near the SUV that would indicate an attempt at breaking the window. Rain began to fall at 6 and later fell below freezing.

Seriously though, how dumb do you have to be? Talk about the unintended consequences of supplying people with conveniences.

My Caddy STS locks were fully electric. There were no manual locks, only a red LED.

Seriously? There was no lever of any kind? Nearly every car I've owned has had electric locks but they've all had physical locking levers available. I'd think that would be a legal requirement in case of a massive electrical failure.

I saw this somewhere before, but well worth the revisit.

If we got rid of fucked up stories from California or Florida, then the internet could probably be reduced in size by 50%.
