It was a rainy day in Bridgeport CT a few months back, and I was working early in the morning. My umbrella was in the trunk, so I quickly opened it, found my umbrella, and set my keys down so I could open the umbrella to try and keep as dry as I could in the pouring rain. In a hurry and pretty tired, I closed the trunk with my keys still sitting on the trunk floor where I sat them when i opened the umbrella. Quickly noticing this, I calmly opened the drivers door to find the trunk release button, since I hadn't locked the car yet. Fuck, it didn't work. So I tried it agian. Fuck, it didn't work again. After a few more tries, I admitted defeat and tried to hatch a plan to get the keys out of the trunk. My tools were in there, and I needed them fairly soon,or so I thought. Apparently I would be needing them sooner. The trucking company who was delivering the machine I was supposed to be installing, didnt have the proper tools so they needed mine ASAP, as they were blocking traffic and were getting soaked in the rain. I had it. I would rip the side bolster off the driver side rear seat, stick a flashlight in there and have a looksee. There they were, but out of reach.. All I needed now was a coat hanger to stick in there to retrive them. I "borrowed" a coat hanger from where I was working, grabbed the keys, and saved the day. A real American hero; Mr Coathanger Key Retriever Guy. I put the seat back together and didn't think much about it the rest of the week, until the last day when I went into the glove compartment to get my rental car paperwork. The last photo will show what I found.
The "fixed" seat.
