Call a locksmith or the police will do it for free if you tell them there is an animal in there.

You can keep the replacement credit card sized key in your wallet. If you still have it.

Problem with it is, if you lock the key in the car and the factory alarm kicks on. even if you were able to get something inside to slim jim the locking mechanism or thru the cracked window to unlock it, you have to do two things at once. once it's unlocked you have to pull the handle to open the door within half a second before the factory alarm relocks itself again. don't ask how I know.

You can find those key card wallet things on ebay for about $13 I think.

Anyone know if the keys are chipped? I only have one key myself. I almost locked the key in the trunk one time, fortunately I didn't lock the car or the trunk release. The key I have just has a small single button on the side. Did 95 SC3 come with the three button keys?

Oh yea, I found that out too!
And... I accidentally scraped the paint in the upper corner of my door opening before remembering that I had a second remote to open it with!
EPIC FAIL on my part!!!!
