Happen to me for the very first time. The keys and cell phone were just where I lift those,on the center console.(GROAN)
I was at the beach parking lot and I hadn't the faintest what I should do since this was my first time, I walked by the playground area and just for the hell of it I ask this couple if they would call the police,she says they are not going to send the police for a lockout...She then ask her partner if his Triple AAA card would cover me,he says YES as long as here is there to show proof of membership. He calls,the locksmith was there in 1/2 hour., I thanked the good samaritan and gave him $20 over his objections.
He asked if my car insurance would have covered the lockout.Call them when I got home they said yes to lockout,towing,fix flats,jump the battery etc,etc...well DUH!!!!!.
Talking with the locksmith and asking him if there was a vehicle that he couldn't open in this day and age of fancy car locks.
He says "I haven't met one vehicle in 23 years that I could not open"
To open my car he inserted a large credit card type thingy with a tube and bulb pump type attached then he slided those cards between the door and frame in 2 places,he then inflated those cards just enough to force the door to open enough to move the wire to my door switch. The cars alarm went off but shut down when I retrieved the keys.AMAZING

Now they have locksmith "kits" that are specific to a certain make, model and even year of vehicle. Your locksmith is smart - he's using a neat by-pass method.
