Help - she does not start anymore (stranded..)

[Alexander Finger]

hmm..wiggling the key..I did a whole lot of turning and switching back
and forth..but no, I did not directly "wiggle" it.
I'll try tomorrow..but I'll take the starter with me, in any case.
The battery is 2 weeks old and I had a loooong ride before parking it.
