Reminds me of when I was a kid. We left the grocery store, unlocked the car with a keyless remote and got in. My dad put the key in the ignition and couldn't turn the car on. He was confused, I was confused, I had felt a general sense of wrongness. Looked around and noticed, this wasn't our car. Same Make, Model, Year and Color and the keyless also matched, though the interior color was different. Our car was two cars further down the aisle. The chances of that happening are so very slim, but also not.
- Brian-Puccio 6y agoSame with a mid-90s Audi with my grandmother picking up someone from the airport. Took us a minute to figure out we weren’t in her car because both were immaculate inside. Though it was a while ago so I’m thinking they both just shared the same physical key to unlock the doors and start the engine.
- hansvm 6y agoFor a long time (maybe still?) it was common for police forces to buy cars which were keyed alike. What happened when those cars were gradually replaced? Well, the new cars had to be keyed to match the old ones, and taxis or anyone else in the market for old police cars would unwittingly be able to unlock the entire police fleet.
- tharkun__ 6y agoWhat is the probability that this happened to my friends mom as well? We noticed because there was some stuff in the back that didn't belong to them. What is the probability that yours was the same type of car as theirs? Unfortunately I don't remember for sure. But it was a small car. Sorry I can't be more specific. It's been like 30 years :)
