I'm not the kind of person who keeps his wallet in his back pocket, and always has to take it out when sitting in a vehicle, or chair of some sort.

Locked my keys in the truck last night, I used the homemade slimjim I keep in the bed.
Unlocked in 60 seconds, threw the slimjim back in the bed and drove home.
I also keep a homemade slimjim attatched to my Hilift jack on the rear of my Bronco.
In all the years that I have used a slimjim, I have never damaged any internals on a door, but keeping an extra set of keys is a better idea.
Carrying a slimjim can also aid other people who lock themselves out, if they do not have an extra key like the smart people at FTE.

I always use the key fob to lock and unlock my doors, I've never locked myself out of my '98 yet. Had a '99 F250SD that i locked my keys in quite a bit, and found that my trusty skoal can and a coat hanger worked great.
