Locked keys in car

You have 3 options:

A: Use a coathanger to go over the top o the window, bending it down as you go, and bend the end so that you can catch the door handle enough to open it.

B: Buy or borrow a "slim jim" which parking lot attendants use when keys are locked in cars. It slides down the outside of the window and a hokk in the end catches a thin bar or rod that goes from the inside doorhandle to the lock. Takes some fiddling but not hard.

C: Call a locksmith for automobiles and watch him do the second item.
