This morning at a Home Depot I opened the back hatch of my Abarth and put my dog in there and dropped my keys inside so I could wash my hands a bit.
Closed the hatch and Boom!, my mind started to race...called AAA post haste - that took 6 mins or so...and then grabbed a white tarp at the store entrance and tossed it across the windshield...it was sunny and 94 degrees at this time. Got a call from AAA 4 - 5 mins. later that a unit was on the way.
Within 12 - 15 mins later a flatbed hauler showed up. He used a bladder to pry open the door enough to get a snake in there and pulled the door latch. As he was finished, another same rig showed up.
.
I called AAA just now to acknowledge their work...the dignitude with whom I spoke said that when a living being is locked in a vehicle, they send out two units and one unit has an EMT on board.
So for me, AAA emergency is worth the cost of admission.
BTW, Ollie was fine, panting like hell, though.

I've been meaning for months to put a spare key under the car...will do that today.
Thought I'd share.
