use a slim jim.. not the tasty beef stick.. its a metal device mechanics use to pop the lock on the doors..or just get you spare key from under your gas tank, roof rack , cross-member, or off you key ring next to the front door..

FWIW, this happened to me not too long ago. I used a cirated(sp?) blade from a swiss army knife and "jiggled" it in the door lock and was open within 30 seconds.

I thought it was a fluke and I got lucky. After getting my keys out, I re locked the door and tried again. Still worked in under a minute. I just laughed. I mean, there's nothin' to steal in there unless they want some change in the cupholder, but still.
