This would have saved you the drive as long as your wife had her cellphone on her (ie., didn't lock it in the car with her keys).  I assume that was the case since she called you.
    Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car?

    Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button on their key, holding it near the mobile phone on their end.  Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you.  Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
    Honestly, Matt.  This works.  I've tried it.  Hope your wife and child are safe at home this morning.

    You need to stand on your left foot and jump up and down and flap your arms or it won't work.  Try it, really...
