I remember that day. 
To the rescue mate, driving me to the local shop for a pointy stickI remember that day.
A serial game too mate 
Yep, good job there was a tree nearby that could lend a branchA serial game too mate
Well, a couple months ago I finally ripped out the self locking, PITA, annoying aftermarket alarm and retrofitted the OEM remote central locking alarm along with the brick remote fob. So all good now.
Good fun retrofitting the OEM system as I had to install the complete wiring loom, module, receiver and then programme a couple of fobs.

Coming to this new, was this “game” to unlock/get into your car Jim?!?
Yep. The naff central locking aftermarket alarm locked the doors after a minute of the car engine running. Problem was, the car engine was running and I popped back into the hotel to get something and shut the door. The alarm then decided to lock the doors whilst the engine was running and nobody was in it. So needed to get a long pointy stick to wedge between the window top and roof to press the window button to get the window down and then able to get back in the car.
Blimey!!! What a nightmare!
No, No...........I think you've got that all wrong. The picture you show.......
is the RESULT of the game... The actual game was the one the car was playing called: "LETS SEE IF JIM CAN TAKE A JOKE!!!"............Frankie.

5 blokes were convinced we could open it. Then we read the manual 
and it said get a long stick and push the window switch

Pass the can opener bud.
Been there and done that with a Clio I used to own. Aftermarket alarm, engine running, got out and shut the door for some reason and next minute locked out with no spare key
I had a 98 Mondeo est. many years ago and I only got 1 key with it and as the price of a new one scared the crap out of me I decided to live with the one. However the central locking did play up now and again but only in so far as it wouldn't unlock the car onthe button but the key would open the drivers door. There was a "Re set" button up under the dash you could use and then it was ok for ages.
