dang man sorry to hear about that. Do a search, theres a member that knows how to unlock the S real easily without a key. but he doesnt post how. im sure he will tell you over PM or phone because of your situation. good luck man. once you unlock the car you should be able to pop the trunk with the release in the console. if that is locked, you will have to remove the cover that the soft top rests on when its down. Once that is off you will have access to the trunk and grab your keys i locked mine in the trunk once too and thats what i had to do. the trunk is electrical so you would have to hook up your battery to use the trunk release in the console. good luck Eddie

Just pop the hood and borrow a friends battery. Temporarily rewire in the battery and pop your trunk.

do you still have the spare?

if not you can reach the "kidnap" switch via the rear plastic vent just behind the passenger seat

I dont think the s2k has one of those but I dunno

I say you pop off the plastic behind the seats and reach through there. If you have no spare tire its pretty much a straight shot

It has one. I use it all the time. My car in completely stripped (No Elect, No Nothing) so I have to pop it to open the trunk. It is my only option.

Get a better Honda dealer? I did the exact same thing, locked my only set of keys in the trunk with the car locked. My Honda dealer cut me a new key for $10 and told me to bring it back sometime with the car and they would program the key for free...
