How do I get in without breaking a window

My car has had a broken driver's side door and recently it broke the passenger's side door. My only way of getting in without an open window has been though the hatch. It's not too bad though because the car's down anyways right now. But now the key hole for the hatch is broken!

So I'm trying to figure out how to get into my car without breaking a window. The good thing is that the hatch is open on the passenger's side just barely because the latch on that side didn't catch. I tried to pull on the hatch but it wouldn't open. Any thoghts other than breaking a window or burning my POS to the ground and letting the city take care of it?

Grab a hold of the top of your door frame and reef backwards....there's enough give there to be able to slide a rod in and get at the handle.

will this miss-shape the door or frame?
will there be any structral damage?
should this only be done in an emergancy?.... like you locked your keys in the car and its running.
