On my '81 Westy, the only way to lock the keys in the van is:  Make sure the front and side doors are all locked.  Open the rear hatch, and turn the lock to the locked position with the hatch still open.  Now throw the keys in the back and shut the hatch.

  Not mine.  If I could, I would have locked the keys in many times.  Mercedes
  is the same way.
