Drunk unlocks police car with own key
YOKOSUKA, Kanagawa -- A man who unlocked a police investigation vehicle with his own car key while drunk, then drove to an empty lot and fell asleep in the vehicle has been arrested ...
... "I was at a year-end party and I mistook the vehicle for my own one. My key opened the door and the engine started as well," Kiyono was quoted as telling investigators ...
When police tested the key, they found that it could be used in both vehicles ...
Kiyono's car and the investigation vehicle were of the same make and gray color, but the models were different ...
A spokesman for Nissan Motor Co., the maker of the vehicles, said the firm produced more than 20,000 types of keys for its vehicles, and that it was almost impossible for separate keys to be used in different cars, even if they were the same model, but that it was not impossible for keys to very occasionally fit other cars...
I can see it now, hordes of pimply 1984-Nissan Pulsar drivers trying their keys on the nearest Z roadster or 350Z !
