Wow. You have a real problem here. I see a couple of choices for you. #1 Can you get in through the passenger door or the trunk? #2 You can break a window that will allow you to reach the door locks. #3 You need a membership in an auto club or a friend with AAA. They will open your door using a 'slim-jim' or a 'wonder tool'. This will use up 1 of the 4 emergency calls that are allowed per year. I would suggest the last option. Just ask around at work or check with your neighbors. You cannot 'roll-over' those 4 uses per year. It's use 'em or lose 'em. Many people will share their membership, if you simply ask. Good luck
