It would take probably as much time (as going to the suburb and come back,
even if it's legit) if you called the police and have them open the car.
They do that sort of thing if you lock yourself out. Even in DC. AAA also
does that kind of service, but you have to be a member. I doubt the old
lady was a member of anything legitimate.
