Your right, it seems so far that it is VERY hard to lock yourself out. Such a good thing to hear. However with the anti-theft features of the car i would hate to break a window or tweak a door panel trying to get in to the car when my handy dandy $35 valet key would do the trick. Besides why not give yourself a backup to get in to the car? you all know Murphy and how much of a B*%$# she can be! In my career as a Network Architect, designing high availability systems the cardinal rule is to always design something with a backup option. Maybe you are familiar with the term used in data-centers, N+1. Basically what it means is you have something that can handle the load or need of the system but in the event of a failure you should always have something that is able to take that load in a moment's notice. In my mind the attitude of "eh forget it, it wont happen" is ignorant and asking for problems. I'll unlock my car and watch you wait for the lock smith who is going to slim jim your car door in to a warped piece of junk and then break your window to get in. Laughing the entire time. I may be new to the crossfires but I am not new to being smart about things and making sure I have an out.

Dang, why so much resistance to a hidden key? SHEEEEESH PEOPLE!

Lets get some more input on locations!
I may be ignorant and asking for problems but I would not stand back and laugh at you trying to get into your locked car. I would offer you a lift to your home to pick up your spare key, on this forum we are like that.
On some forums they would tell you were to shove your key and sideways too, but as I said, we are not like that here.
