We lived in ATL when the new airport opened. It is symmetrical, including the parking lots. Dozens of people every day thought they lost cars when they were simply on the opposite side of the airport.

The last two vehicles I have owned have been black, the most popular color where I now reside. They have also been a very popular make and model around here. It is not uncommon for me to see four to six vehicles that are black and my vehicle's make and model in a single row of vehicles. Therefore at times I use the remote to flash its lights.

And now we can wait to see how many will be standing in the parking lot with a key in their head! But for :cus:And giggles I will try as well

Amazing! Who woulda thunk it!

Another reason to carry a bottle of water with you, in the hot Florida sun!!!

I usually try to park in the same area, when visiting a big box store. It would be nice if they hung signs, to number the aisles. I don't like wandering in the desert! :D

Well, I can tell you that this trick, in fact, does work! I have been using it for years...not sure where I discovered the trick though.

On occasion, I will forget if I locked my car, so I go to where I can "see" the car, place the key under my chin and press... I have never tried the water, but the scientific explanation of the video is a plausible reason.

Happy Clicking!

Now that's using your head!

Brings new meaning to when I say to my wife "I'll HEAD to the parking lot and pull the car up" while shopping with her!

but does it cause brain cancer?????

Works for me even in large multi tier garages.

Great experiment!

DonH57 11-22-2014 12:11 PM

Hummm. I don't know about that because there are those that shouldn't be putting electronic devices close to their head, know what I mean?

village dreamer 11-22-2014 12:14 PM

I send my seeing eye dog out to find my car.

In awe of TV 11-22-2014 01:36 PM

Hmmm
 
My key fob is separate from the actual key. Will it still work?

They'll probably fine that it causes brain cancer.
