you could saw the hood handle in half, unscrew the halves, then try to get in through the glovebox to try to unlock the door.

Locked out

Call a locksmith. It's possible their key is in the car, if not have a new key made after the car is open. A good locksmith will find this easy, if not, call another locksmith.

The simplest way to get in is to take a razor blade and cut the rubber seal holding one of the rear quarter windows in place. pop it out and you are in. You can replace that seal for around 15 dollars and an hour's worth of your time, which is a LOT less than a locksmith's going to charge you for just the dispatch fee.

You can also try the old "fish a coat hanger in around the glass in the doors" trick. The door handles should pull up to open, and if you put a loop in one end of your wire you can get it pretty easily assuming the doors are operable. I'd try the passenger side first. Seems like it's easier to get in on that side for some reason.

If you just don't feel like messing with it, call a locksmith. They can slim jim it in a few minutes but you're probably looking in the neighborhood of a hundred bucks for their effort.
