Broke rod to break into car

[Fishnngolfn]

Monday morning started out horrible. I went outside to warm my car up. My car is currently parked outside since my side of the garage is full of fishing stuff right now. I accidently locked my keys in the car with the car running. I have a convertible and I can squeeze a thin diameter pole or stick between the window and the cushion foam but I just couldn't reach the door handle, lock or automatic window button with a coat hanger. I knew one of my rods would reach but i just didn't want to do it. Finally after around 30 minutes of tearing through the house and not finding anything that will work, I finally decided that I had to do the unthinkable. I made sure I grabbed my least expensive rod and bent each guide inwards so that it would fit through the small opening between the window and foam. It worked. I was able to push the automatic window button and get into my car but three of the guides broke during the process. The rod that was used was a $30 two piece Ugly stick. Now I need a new rod that I can keep in the car for those spontaneous fishing trips while traveling for work. Sigh.
