RE: IML: Help!! I locked myself out,how to open 1960 Imperial without the key?

["Rob van der Es" <r.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rich,

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

Well, since I don't have the original key codes on the round tag and since
I don't have a vertical knob to pull up, I will try plan C tomorrow
morning (right now it is 22.40 in the Netherlands and to dark to do
anything outside).

I will keep you informed about my progess to become a thief and get access
to my own car :)

Best Regards and thanks,

Robert
