It’s only happened to me once and in anger I was about to pull on it with some force. Luckily the consequences side of my action and consequences thinking kicked in before I acted like a human pry bar. Turns out the car had locked most likely due to the movement of the key fob in my pocket.
I’m not saying this is what happened to @71eh but it’s something to think about if it happens to anyone else.

I made sure it was unlocked. But this is very good to know in case some people did not know about this.

Many of us have found out the mysterious issues with a key fob in the pocket, and things locking or unlocking. Keeping it in your pocket while washing the car can cause the water pressure from the wand to open the frunk or trunk when you hit the spray there. I know I once heard the click on my wife's Macan and the fuel door was locked --- only happened once , but Bruin above noted an important thought.

And I want to thank you and son Ryan again for the tip about leaving the keys in the cars when washing them to prevent those kinds of occurrences!! Outstanding!
