My Caddy STS locks were fully electric. There were no manual locks, only a red LED.

Seriously? There was no lever of any kind? Nearly every car I've owned has had electric locks but they've all had physical locking levers available. I'd think that would be a legal requirement in case of a massive electrical failure.

Or, they just unlock when you use the door handle from the inside. Which I'm sure the caddy did.

True story from a locksmith friend . . .

A guy locks his keys in his corvette, so he calls a locksmith. The locksmith's younger helper responds to the call and as soon as he gets out of the truck, the corvette owner starts being a dick and saying that no "kid" is going to work on his car, throws a hissy fit and demands the owner of the company come out and do the actual work so no stupid "kid" scratches up his precious corvette. Well, the owner calls his helper back and he goes out himself. The locksmith looks in the driver's side window to check things out, then nonchalantly walks over to the passenger side and opens the unlocked passenger door, grabs the guys keys out of the ignition and tells the vette owner "that'll be $85 dollars, please", lol.

That's what my mini and most BMW's do....

In this world of trying to idiot-proof things - they are building a better idiot.

with the exception of my old Grand Prix and our current Subaru all of the cars I've ever owned do this.
