scum bag tried stealing my car! HELP.
Ok so I'm pissed right now!
Basically some **** tried stealing my rx7 once I ran into the store tonight and Fucked up my lock on the drives side door lock.
Got it open but it took some effort and wasn't normal feeling now I can't even open the door and to add to my bad luck the passengers side won't open from the outside due to something fail in the lock a few months ago...I know....I know I should have addressed it then.
So now I cant open the damn car at all! Errrr......
Btw I have a convertible no hatch to crawl through.
My questions are does anyone now where I can buy a complete lock set new and do they now how to enter the car without keys...obviously not through the top or braking a window.
Soo pissed but glad those scum bags didn't get her!
Next set is a bad *** alarm!
Help please don't want to spend crazy amounts of cash just to get it open from some locksmith.

I was able to open the door when keys were locked in with a cardboard.has to be about 6" long 4" wide and slide it between window and door straight down by the door handle and it will push down on a lever which will open the door.i haven't done that in years but I've done it quite a bit when I owned my turbo II.

Opening the car is dead simple, I just did it last week.
Peel off the lower outside window trim/wiper.
Use a ruler (or any flat strip of material) to push down the door latch operating rod, it's the only plastic connector thingie you can see.
Takes about 10 seconds.
A locksmith might be able to save your lock cylinder.
I had all my cylinders rebuilt with master keys, cost about $100.

Mazdatrix sells them new.
The easiest way to break into an FC is to remove the weather strip, remove a windshield wiper, and poke the wiper down against the rod. No tools required. I used to lock my keys in my car all the time so I figured this trick out.

OP, not only do I feel bad that someone tried to break into your car... But also for the fact that a lot of people responding in this thread haven't read a single word of your initial post. haha

To the OP, get any door lock lock off an 2nd Gen RX7 parts car or buy one from Mazdatrix, take it to a lock smith and have them "key" it to your regular key.
Installing is actually quite easy as it's held in place with a simple C spring. You just pull the door card, remove a couple 10MM bolts, not so secret trick is to also take out the philips screws that holds the door jamb locking mechanism so it can drop down providing remove wiggle, then massage the door handle out from the outside.
