when my buddy locked his keys in, we took a big flat head and wrapped in a shirt then pryed the top of the door enough to fit a skinny metal rod we had down there to hit the unlock button.

Lucky you, here in California, it's illegal for a cop to have one.

go to lowe's or local hardware store and keep a spare key somewhere- under the car in a magnetic box or in the wallet, someplace. it won't let the car run but it will open a door.

IDK about the signal being carried over the phone but I doubt the tennis ball would work. How can suction align the pins and turn the lock?

We tried that key fob + cell phone trick at school one day and it didn't work. Might work for some but it definately doesn't work for all. When I locked my keys in the car, called the police to see if they'd send someone out, but they said if it wasn't an emergency (car running, kids in car, etc) I'd have to call a tow truck company or AAA. After they came and got it open, I went straight to the hardware store and had 2 keys made for like $1 a piece or something. One for the wallet, one at home.
