do you have AAA? Looks like your only option is a locksmith.

do you have an extra alarm remote control available? (i know, this is obvious)

or try the hollywood stuff, stick a paper clip in the hole.

edit:
Were you expecting us to come to you with some magic key?
Or do you really believe that there's a hidden Master switch outside the car that will unlock the doors? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

I'm losing my mind...

next time youll know, just run a remote lock popper button to a very well hidden part of the car in case you do it again. push the button and boom your doors are unlocked. Just be sure you remember where you mounted the button in case you lock yourself out again. But for now, let me reach up my azzzzz and pull out the magic key that will unlock your door from my own home.

That is correct,
I work at a car wash and someitmes we lock your keys int he car (not our fault, auto lock)
Anyways you get cops to come and they willjimmy it, it takes anywhere 5mins-1hr
On our cars it sohuld NOT take that long. Once opened show em the proper ID.


GOOD LUCK!~[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

a lot easier than what everyone has said. get a flat head screw driver or close hanger and wedge it at the top of the window it will pull out trowds you a little and then put the screw driver in the little opening and push your window down(if you have power windows), thats how people break into our cars with out breaking glass our window molding sucks so they can just wedge something in it and push the window down

that window pushing sounds like it would break stuff......cops around me won't open cars any more cause they've been breaking parts or something.....I'd call AAA, if you don't have it just ask one of your friends...they'll do it for anyone's car as long as there's one person who has AAA....

Here is something that worked very well for me once. It does require the old fashioned wire hanger method but here's what you can try out:

Shove that wire hanger in the window sill and after about 20 minutes (how long it took me) you can use the rounded part of the hanger to hook around the trunk release. Then you can get into your car from the trunk area. Patience!

Make a copy of your key, but not from the dealership. Just a plain old metal copy. Next buy one of those magnetic key holders and hide it somewhere in your engine bay so that you can reach it in cases like this.
Sure it won't start the car, but it'll open all the doors and truck no prob...
Should only cost you about $5 total...
Trust me, you learn your lesson the first time...

I was wondering the same thing. Mebbe if you hide it so you can get it from under the engine bay.

Also, I always wondered how strong those magnetic things are. I would think that if I hit a sweet bump, it would just fall off. And if it's really strong where it wont, would I be able to pull it off. (no I'm not some weak $hit)

I gotta ask, how did you lock the keys inside the car? surely they weren't still in the ignition.. did you set them on the seat beside you and forget about them?

The keys are hanging in the ignition, i know it isnt supposed to lock if they are in there but it did. Im just so used to getting out and when i pull the door handle, hitting the unlock button.

Hey just to inform u guys ...those magnetic key holder are great...if it is used properly..I explain.. I use to lock my keys in my old car few years ago...and I had a magnetic key holder under my car....for sure you don't have to let it stick just at thieft view...but you have to put it somewhere where it can't fall off easily, just put it somewhere you can reach it from the top ans it stick to the bottom ..I don't know if it is possible under our 7th gen civic but ... I'm pretty sure there is some good place....! Thise is really cheap but...it only cost like 5$ to buy the magnetic key holder and have a set of keys in...!
