Get the Keys Out of Your Locked Vehicle

You were in such a hurry to get to the store to get the new Jonas Brothers CD that you locked your keys in your car. Don't panic, it's pretty easy to get into your vehicle, even expensive Jaguars and luxury vehicles can be opened like this.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

wedge
hanger
patience

Step 1

Get a wedge. You can use the Jonas Brothers CD or you can find anything that wedges into the space between your door and the vehicle. Actually, what works best is an inflatable air bag that you can get on ebay in case this were to happen. Has different names like, air-wedge.
Step 2

Your door is flexible, so bend it open a little. Make sure you open it from the top of the window corner on the right side of the window if you're on the driver side.
Step 3

Put a straightened hanger in there and, depending on the model of car you can push the electric locks open, pull the lock up, or pull the door handle, whatever works. It's not easy, especially with a hanger, a straight metal rod is actually more effective but you could get lucky. You can also find metal rods made for this online.
Step 4

Get in your car and rock out to that Jonas Brothers CD. Awesome!

Tips & Warnings

Try not to scratch your car up.
