Door Problem Please Help

A few weeks ago some idiot tried breaking into my car and failed because my alarm went off and scared him off. Anyways he pulled the passenger side door handle almost halfway out and popped the lock out. I'm now unable to get the door open. So i can't remove the handle from inside because i have to remove the door panel to get at it. How should i get my door to open?

unfortunately not. The lock was popped out by the thief while the car was locked.

if you can't open it using a door handle, then call AAA, or somebody with i think a "jimmy" something? baically a thing metal strip with a hook to manually lift the door mechanism. old school way of breaking in cars by opening doors.

if that doesn't work, then take it to a honda dealer. that would be my last resort...even though they'll probably cost you an exorbatant amount of $$...but hey at least you got your door openend
