Accidentally leaving your keys in your car can be very frustrating. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to get your keys out of the car if you have a loop. It is important to first make sure that you cannot get into your car in an easier way. For example, you may have a spare key somewhere or there may be another door open. If you've checked all the doors and you still can't get into your car, you can call someone to help you. You can also use tools to open the door of your car.

Method 1 of 3: Open the lock with a wire

1. Grab a long thread. Find a piece of wire that is at least three feet long. You can also use yarn or a thin string. You can also use a lace if you don't have any of these materials.
2. Call a locksmith. Find a locksmith nearby. Call the locksmith and ask if he or she can come to your car. Don't forget to ask what the rates are if you want to know what it will cost.
3. Call the roadside assistance service. Roadside assistance can get your car open without damaging your car. These services often give you a card with a phone number that you can call.
   • Popular breakdown assistance services are ANWB, BOVAG and Route Mobiel.
4. Seek help from the police. Police officers have the tools to open your car if it is locked. Some police stations will only respond if the engine is still running or if the car is a danger to someone. Call the police and see if they can help you get your keys back.
   • If you see agents nearby, you can always ask them for help.
