Thanks to Chambers County SO!
Well, I guess this is a LEO contact sort of.
We stopped for gas at about 8 PM on Saturday. My wife had been chatting on the phone for about 15 minutes and didn't give it a rest. I jumped out and started pumping the gas. After a few minutes, my wife (still on the phone) decides she needs to powder something, gets out of the car and goes inside. Out of habit she hit the door lock button right before she shut the door. When I finish with the gas pump I try to get into the driver side door and find it locked with my keys in the ignition and my wife's keys in her purse on the back seat. To say the least, I was not amused.
The young ladies working the counter suggested calling the Sheriff's Office and said if certain deputies are on duty they are very helpful - my wife figures we've got nothing to loose and gives them a call.
Two deputies show up in a cruiser within about 5 minutes. They asked my name and if this was my vehicle. I give them my name and confirm vehicle ownership. They call in the plate number and get a response (that I could not hear) within a few seconds. Then they get a kit out of the trunk of the cruiser and have the door open within a couple of minutes. They never asked for ID so I didn't produce my CHL or announce the fact that I was armed.
While they were working on the door my wife came out of the store and was joking with them. She kept saying that it was my fault because I left my keys in the ignition. One of the deputies said, "But you left your purse on the seat at a gas station" to her and then "Man, I'm trying to help you" to me. My wife said, "I wasn't going to put my Coach purse on the nasty floor in that bathroom" and everybody laughed. I pointed out that the one who hit the lock button had to have been the one who locked us out of the car and that wasn't me.
After thanking the deputies profusely and as we were getting in our car my wife says something about how glad she was that they were willing and able to help us. And then she says something along the lines of, "If you guys hadn't shown up he probably would have killed me". I'm thinking, oh no, don't say anything like that to cops - even in jest. So we just get into our car and leave.
All in all it was a great encounter and I really appreciate the help from Chambers County's finest.
