Oh no I locked my keys in the car! I can’t find my car keys! It most likely has happ
ened to you or someone you know. In fact, it has happened or will happen to all of us at some point in life. You’re thinking of something else while shopping, eating, going to the movie or some other things that might take up your time and then when you come back to your car, you reach in your pockets for your keys, and presto! They’re not there. You panic for a minute. Did you drop them somewhere? Did you put them on a counter in a store? Did someone take them from you? How are you going to get in your car and go home? You are stranded and feel lost! Call an emergency locksmith in Roanoke VA.
Most people will be familiar with the sense of panic that rises up immediately after finding out that a car key is lost or misplaced. It is also considered to be most unnerving during the night, and your miles away from home, or if you are in the middle of a bad weather, more so if you have kids with you during a lockout situation. Here are a few tips in dealing with a lockout emergency, before you call a Locksmith or Lock-Out Service in Roanoke VA.
1. Relax.
The foremost thing you need to do in a lockout situation is to stay calm. Fight down any feeling of panic, and be patient with yourself and those who are in the situation with you.
2. Check for any spare key that you may have hidden somewhere.
Most people forget that they may have hidden a spare key somewhere within their property until a situation calls for an extra key. Before you contact any professional locksmith service, make sure that you have scoured your property for any spare key that you may have kept somewhere.
3. Contact a member of the family or a friend who have spare keys for you to use.
If you live with other members of your family or are sharing a vehicle chances are they have keys with them. If you find that you have locked yourself out of the Automobile, try to see if you can borrow their keys or have them duplicate it for you to use.
4. Check for any downed windows or points of entry you may have overlooked.
Some cars and trucks have latch windows that may be unlocked or accessible without professional help you could possibly legally break in to your own car with a wire coat hanger or improvised tool. DO NOT break your window unless there is an endangered person in the vehicle. Windows are far to expensive to replace and a lock-out service can normally reach you within minutes.
5. When all else fails or you want someone there immediately contact a Roanoke VA lock-out service. Within minutes you will have someone there with you that will get you back in t o your vehicle. You will also be calmed by having someone show up quickly if there is bad weather or you are alone at night.
It is important that you do not schedule or ask more than one lock-out service to arrive on the scene as this may cause you to be double charged because if they both show up at the same they may both refuse to open your car without them both being paid for time. Call one Roanoke Lock-Out Service and wait for them to arrive.
Most lock-out companies in Roanoke also offer battery jump services, tire changes, and gas delivery.

There are dozens of DUI lawyers in Roanoke that you could choose from, however the outcome of your DUI case depends greatly on the decision you make. Going with the cheapest attorney in Roanoke may be a bad idea and going with the highest price attorney can also be a bad choice.
How do you decide on which DUI attorney in Roanoke to go with? The answer is Reputation! Which local DUI attorney has the best overall reputation and how many cases have they been involved in and more importantly how have these cases ended for the accused…
How do you research which DUI Attorney to use in Roanoke? Doing some simple research online can make a big difference. First find a few local DUI lawyers/attorneys that are in your area – Then go on Google and input their name as the search term. You will most likely find reviews about them on Google – Be sure to read the first 3-4 pages of search results so you don’t miss any information about them. After you find an attorney that you feel is capable of handling your case call them for a free consultation and talk with them. They will ask you a series of questions.

Leave no details about your arrest, where you were stopped, what tests were done, the officers behavior, your treatment, and location of offense.
Virginia DUI Laws:
The Virginia Code sets the legal limit at .08. for adults and .02 for persons under 21. This means a 8/100ths to one-tenth of one percent by weight of alcohol to the weight of blood. This is translated into grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood in tests of blood or urine sample, or grams of alcohol per 210 liters of air in a “breathalyzer” test. A combination of the use of alcohol and narcotics can also be considered “under the influence” based on erratic driving. Driving on private property such as a parking lot is no drunk driving defense, but sitting in a non-moving vehicle without the ignition on probably is. This is a misdemeanor and is variously referred to as DUI, driving while intoxicated (DWI), or drunk driving.
DUI laws are tough in Virginia, Roanoke is no exception:
1st Roanoke DUI Offense: Up to 1 year in Jail and $2,500 Fine and loss of license for 1 year, possible MANDATORY JAIL
2nd Roanoke DUI Offense: MANDATORY JAIL, Up to 1 year, $2500 Fine and loss of license for three years
3rd Roanoke DUI Offense: FELONY!!! MANDATORY JAIL!
Penalties include possible jail time, fines and community service. Second offense holds harsher penalties. If you have been charged with a second offense DUI don’t risk it – hire the best attorney you can!

Chances are if you are a coin collector you already have a shop you deal with on a regular basis in the area or online.

Selling your coin collection might be frustrating because you may have paid high retail for you coins or purchased silver coins when silver was high and going for nearly $35-$40 per ounce and at the time of this article silver is only worth $19.00 an ounce and remember most silver coins only contain 35%-90% silver content. So, if silver is worth $20.00 per an ounce on the market – your 90% silver coin is only worth $18 in silver content and a dealer may only pay $15-$17 for that coin. You might have paid $50.00 for your coin and because silver dropped you will be taking a loss.
When you go to sell a common Morgan Dollar or American Eagle Silver Coin you may only get 80% of the silver value in that coin. Some dealers may pay more or less depending on the condition and grade of the coin. Generally most coin buyers pay about the same give or take a $1 on silver dollar coins. Most dealers buy common coins at silver value not coin collectability value. If you have a rare silver dollar like a CC (Carson City) or key date coin you will obviously get more. Remember coin buyers and coin dealers buy coins to make a PROFIT on them and resell them, so you will never get what your coin is “Really Worth”.
