I was once on an extended assignment for work, so was given rental vehicle since I didn't want to tie up a pool car for 3 months. I received a brand new Ford Explorer instead of the typical compacts we had in the pool. About one month into this assignment, I basically got to know the SUV as if it was mine. So one morning about 6am I was headed to the hotel parking lot to go to the office and unlocked the doors with the remote. However, the doors wouldn't open. I tried several times, went door to door. No luck. I could hear hear the locks click when I tried to lock and unlock, but still couldn't get in. In my frustration, I really jerked on the door and I even gave it a couple hammer punches in the handle as my anger rose.

So, I headed back to hotel to catch a ride and looked back - oops. From this angle I saw another silver Ford Explorer on the adjacent parking spot and yes, she was mine. The locks were so loud that I could hear them know the next spot at the wrong vehicle.

So I was lucky the owner didn't shoot me after seeing this bleary eyed stranger punch his SUV. Hopefully, I never have to face the same problem as the OP.
