Well it certainly is a good story.
I have heard of some odd things happening since we got digital technology,
but that is certainly one of the best.
I don't know that I would totally discount it as untrue.

Subject: [access-uk] Unlocking a Car 62 Miles Away
Hello all,
This news story broke today in Norfolk (and presumably Suffolk). It involves technology, so I am passing it on to the list. I'm not sure if I quite believe it, but it was on local radio, so it must be true (grin)!
A lady was visiting her mother in the North Norfolk town of Holt. When she was about to leave, she opened the boot of the family car, a Mercedes, put her handbag inside and closed the boot, which then locked. Inside her handbag were the car keys on their electronic fob, so, as she had not unlocked the car doors, she was, shall we say, in a bit of a mess!
She contacted the R.A.C., whose patrol person was able to open the card doors but not the boot. The nearest Mercedes garage told her that they would have to smash their way into the boot.
She phoned her husband, an engineer, who was at home in Stowemarket, Suffolk, 62 miles away. He said: "Let's see if we can use the radio waves". In Holt, she took her mother's cordless phone out to the car and pointed it at the boot. In Stowemarket, he took the spare set of car keys, pointed the fob at his phone and pressed the button ... Lo and behold, not only did the boot get unlocked, but the car alarm went off too!
Well, if not true, it's a good story!
Cheers,
Chris
