call aaa or a local locksmith/tow truck and have them open it up for you (if you have money that is)

then keep a spare key in your wallet (as long as you keep your wallet on you at all times).

I figured all 7 owners had the full AAA coverage like me.

Gotta love getting parts cars towed because they "broke down" and just happened to be in a junkyard at the time... with flat tires... and no engine... and... yeah.

I've found that its usually the easiest to brake out the third brake light and the hatch leverage is rigth there and crawl through the hatch. Of course i have three other part cars to take the third light assembly out of. lol

Well, if you want to do it yourself you could get an air jack and prop open the door a little and use a hanger or rod to pull the lock up. I work for a roadside assistance company and do this all day. If I didn't have my tools I'd probably use a screwdriver or something to prop up the door a little while sliding a hanger in.

Here is all the **** you need. You really only need the air jack though.

FCs are the easiest cars to break into.. try your house keys chances are they will open the doors.
