Tutorial: How to get your child out of a locked car (cracked window edition)

Before you begin-Common sense rules:
First of all, do not let your child in the car alone without buckling him in the seat first.
Make sure you have a spare key/ cell phone outside of the car.  But if you cannot manage to have enough sense to do this than proceed with troubleshooting steps,

1. After finding your child has locked you out of the car retrace your steps a dozen times to try and find the car keys or at least a cell phone.  If no success, try not to panic, running around like a chicken with it's head cut off saying not-so-nice words will not help ANYTHING!
2. Once you've calmed yourself try and talk the child into unlocking the car, by motioning and acting out what they must do.  CAUTION:  This may not work, but it's worth a try.  Also try to avoid becoming angry, your child will only think you are being funny and laugh at you.
3. Survey the car to see if there is any way you can get inside without your child's help.  A window cracked half an inch will do fine.  (If there is nothing to allow you inside, STOP and find the nearest neighbor with a phone).  If you do find a cracked widow, proceed to step 4.
4. Identify the type of lock and locate some tools to help you out--such as: A wire coat hanger and some pliers are very helpful.
5. Bend the coat hanger with your pliers to the shape you need to unlock the door.  (J-shape, Screw, whatever shape will work best for your lock)  
6. Patience is KEY here, you must fish your de-locking mechanism into the cracked window and hook it onto your lock.  This may take several tries, and several adjustments to your tool. 
7. Once you unlock the door, promptly remove the child to a safe, confined, area while you unlock the rest of the car and remove important items (Keys, cell phone, anything dangerous to a child such as a bottle of window spray that has been half emptied and sprayed on all inside car surfaces)
8. Hooray!  You've just proved how incredibly resourceful you are, in spite of your previously incredible stupidity!

Other lessons learned:

Your child can be easily entertained for a long time by a spray bottle.
It only takes 30 minutes to empty said spray bottle if it is constantly sprayed.
I have re-evaluated my dislike of wire coat hangers.
