Default keys in the car

so i finally made the classic lock your keys in the car. the alarm is not set and my only set is in the car. the key pad remote and all.. i do have the hood popped though. is there anything that i can excite or somethin that will pop open the doorlocks by chance? i really do not wanna pay a locksmith 80 dollars. also my bill of sale to get my title swapped over is in the back.

Pull the window back and hit the button with a long stick.

i tried this morning to use a small bronze rod to push the door unlock button but it wont open the locks. if i hit lock then you can hear it push to lock but it does nothing when hitting unlock. my father knows the service writer at the gm place here and he wouldn't do **** cause the bill of sale is in the car along with the old title

Sorry just checked back, but yeah that was my next suggestion.. I have a little too much experience with locking the keys in my car, sure makes you feel like a dummy..

Sorry, this is late, your solution was going to be my sugestion as well.

You can buy a slim jim kit at truck stops (Loves, TA, etc.) for about $20. Not only do you save $60 the first time you use it, but you have a great tool for playing pranks on your friends.

Pop the lock. Completely fill the car with crumpled newspaper. Lock the doors and walk away.
