Real panic sets in when you realize your keys are inside the running car. First, check your spare key situation or call a locksmith—they can often open modern cars without damage. If you have roadside assistance, use their app or call. Never try breaking a window unless there's an immediate emergency, like a child or pet inside. For newer cars, your smartphone might work as a key if you've set that up. Stay calm; you're safe, just locked out.
