Phew! Marco had stepped on the lock button!. Then I thought what would I have done if I was away from home and no spare key.

So moral is; ALWAYS REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION.

I post this as a helpful reminder to the few people who might possibly be as stupid as myself.
It's only stupid to leave a dog in a car with all the windows closed. One or more windows should be open an inch or two at the top. This will allow you to poke the lock/unlock button with a rod or cane.

If I found a dog locked in a car on a hot day I would not hesitate to break one of the car windows.
