I locked my keys in my trunk recently. I got a coat hanger and stretched it out but kept it arched a bit. It was a real thick metal coat hanger, not a thin wire one. The end was twisted where the end meets the neck and twists around it to connect the hanger. This part is really strong and doesnt bend easily. I have this tiny hole in my roof over my passanger seat. I was able to slide the hanger in without stretching the hold too much and latched it on the lock then pulled really hard. Took 10 minutes but I got the door open and popped the trunk to get my keys. Soo lucky. I was so pissed when it happened then sooo happy when I got them back.

Whoever said that the lock latches on the doors are not easily hooked thats definitely not true. They are very easily hooked. The hook has to be mostly straight though with only a slight curve. Get the right angle and you can pull the lock open easy if you yank it really fast. This was the first time I ever tried anything like this and it took 5-10 minutes and I was back in my car so it would have to be a really fast process for an experienced criminal.
