Northamptonshire YouTuber captures moment fellow locksmith traps himself in customer's car and has to be rescued

The funny moment was caught on camera when auto locksmith Harvey Rush video called Hannah Middleton for advice after he locked himself in a vehicle he was meant to be fixing.

Hannah, 38 - who specialises in locks for vehicles - was in the middle of a job when she got a call from Harvey Rush on January 21.

Co-owner of family-run business Autokeychase with her husband, John, Hannah met Harvey his partner, Yas, through an online community and group chat of around 90 locksmiths across the UK.

Hannah, from Corby, said: "Only Harvey can get himself locked inside a car. It was such funny timing.

"I told him to tell the client he was stuck, but he didn't want to look like an idiot. In the end, he waited for his missus to come and let him out.

"We're good mates - he's such a clown but he's fair game and found it all hilarious. We had a good laugh about it."

The drama started when Harvey got a call from a woman who was locked out of her 2004 Nissan Micra and, after using equipment to partly open a door window, he managed to climb into the gap using a foot stool.

Unfortunately the stool fell over and Harvey was unable to open any doors from the inside as the they were deadlocked.

Despite finding a spare key inside the car, the battery was dead, so there was no way of activating the locks and opening the doors.

As the window was only half open, he feared shattering the glass if he attempted to climb out without the stool support him, so found himself locked inside.

Fellow auto locksmith Hannah was in the middle of filming a clip for her YouTube channel when the perfectly timed call came in from Harvey.

In the hilarious clip, Harvey is seen on FaceTime showing Hannah his predicament, much to both of their amusement.

In the end, Harvey, who works in the Blackpool area, called his partner and fellow auto locksmith, Yas, to come to his rescue.

Around 40 minutes later he's finally freed from the car and the clip provided "much entertainment" to the locksmith group chat.

Harvey has also seen the funny side, after the day started when he was called out to see a client who had got locked out of her car.

The electric key wasn't working and the manual key blade had snapped off, so she had no way of getting inside.

Harvey, 28, said: "It was one of those days where everything that could go wrong, did. I would usually pick the lock but it was too busted, so I needed another way in.

"I popped an airbag into the window and managed to wind it down enough. But as I flopped into the car through the gap in the window, I heard a thud.

"My stool tipped over and I knew I was stuck. I usually have a sturdy ladder but I took it out my van the day before.

"If dragged myself back out, I worried about shattering the glass so I was stuck."

To make matters worse, Harvey had taken his coat off before climbing in to make sure he didn't scratch the clients car.

The freezing temperatures made the 40 minute wait for his partner even harder.

He said: "It was minus three so not ideal. The client eventually came out and we had a bit of a laugh about it. Passers-by saw me too and asked if I needed a locksmith.

"I said, 'I am the locksmith!'"

Eventually Yas arrived and after propping the stool back up, helped Harvey climb out the car. Using her working key, they manage to cut a new key that was gently hammered into the lock and get the car door open.

He added: "It was my last call and a good way to end the day. Everyone had a good laugh about it in the group chat."
