It's locked inside one of those bloody hard clear plastic bubble cases that actually need a top quality chain saw to gain entry into. Angry9:

I have a device that opens those. If all else fails bring it round  whistle:

In the meantime re your Blue Toothed thingy ~ is it compliant with the legal requirements for use when driving?
Eg the mobile must be FIXED in the car and not hand held. NB Fixed means not floating around on the passenger seat/dash/glove box and connected to the ciggy lighter by a thin cable

IIRC it's illegal to drive a car whilst wearing headphones.

So why is a Bluetooth headset allowed?

Has the law been changed?

I believe that the phone has to be "fixed" into a holder that is in turn screwed/bolted to the car and with separate loudspeaker and microphone also you must not need to touch the buttons to answer or dial a call which to my mind makes most "kits" illegal. That said nobody seems to give a stuff about people using their phones when driving until they have an accident and then the rozzers ask them to blow down their alcohol measuring thingy and if that fails to prove an offence they check the driver's mobby records to see if they have been making or receiving calls in the period leading up to the accident.
That said:
Fixed rather than hand held seems to be fairly elastic depending on the circumstances and the policeman's attitude.

Personally I switch my mobby to voicemail when driving. I feel it is safer.

By the way ~ I really do have a device to open those plastic sealed packs. Eldest daughter gave it to me as a Father's Day pressy. Bloody brilliant thing. I hadn't realised how often I would use such a thing until I got one.
Batteries, Razor Blades, Almost any gadget you buy for your pooter. Everything I seem to buy in B&Q ...... The list is endless.
This is the thing:

Mind you the guy who made the video makes a real balls-up of demonstrating it. I have found it invaluable. Not one sliver of plastic under my finger nails since getting it.

No ~ it came in a proper old fashioned recyclable cardboard box.
