Locked myself out, what to do?

Locked myself out, what to do?
So, earlier tonight I went to go get the keys to my dad's van which were in my center console, I got em, left my keys inside, and locked the door. So, I'm locked out, no spare key cuz the previous owner said he only had one, and have no real way of getting back into my car. So, I spent three hours with the antenna trying to somehow push the unlock button... which I accomplish, but doesn't unlock the door (due to the stock alarm or something). So, anyone have any suggestions on what to do to get back inside my car?

pushing the electric door unlock switch will do nothing as you found out.it thinks its being stolen or broken into unless the key is in the ignition.you could pull on the manual door unlock inside the car,if you can get something sharp to get ahold of it or put a coat hanger in the outside by the doorlock.fish around until you get ahold of the door unlock rod that attaches to the key clyinder on the door lock.then pull on it toi move the rod unlocking the door.i've done this a few times myself.one time i stareted the car to warm it up and it locked me out!

Believe it or not our cars are especially easy to get into, especially t-top cars. if you search this has been brought up many times. But yes the power lock disable after 15 min wether the key is in the ignition or not.

i have had to break into my car before a couple times, i took a piece of metal rod maby 1/8 diameter and put a 90 bend at the top about 3 inches long and i was able to pull the window back just enough to get it in the car and was able to push the lock forward.
