Default Help. I am locked out of my Vette in Houston (Right Now)

This morning on the way to work I made a quick stop and some how my set of keys got locked in the trunk. It has the FOB on it but the doors still wont open. I think I set the alarm and then I opended the trunk to put my paper in and closed and BAM. I am locked out. Oh hell yes. It gets better. We recently boughht a new home and I am missing my other set of keys and fob. I am in the Galleria in Houston. Please e-mail your advice asap. Let me hear some ideas. Friday May7th 06:50

A fellow vetter is in a bind.

Thanks George

Default Stand Down Problem solved

Thanks to everyone that replied. After weighing all my options. Chris at Richey Collission made life very simple. After I supplied him with the documentation showing I was the owner of the car. He was able to get a key cut at the dealer and have it hot shoted to me. If you guys dont know about Richey Collision they are off of Veterans Memorial in NW Houston. They Are Corvette People. They work on Vettes from top to bottom. Awesome cutom painting, body work, engine work you name they do it. They will work on other automobiles if they get to where they are slow and have no Vettes to work on. Chris and his wife are very friendly and both have custom Vettes as well.

Thanks
Again
George

George,

4 options:

1) co worker, cab or ? drive you home to get your keys

2) call the local chevy dealership service dept and see if they can help you. Probably cant because most cant change your oil correctly

3) call a locksmith and see if they can defeat the lock by the license plate to get into the car some other way. Hey they can do some amazing things--worth a call.

4) break side window
