Straighten out a metal coat hanger, force it through the window frame and go for the power lock button.
Works on other cars dont know about the PT though
The locksmith will let your brother out, no problem.
I know that here for a fee (like $30) a police officer will break into your car for you.
Some police dept. will open locked vehicles. Once you get it unlocked get a spare key for your wallet.
Call a locksmith, then check your insurance policy.
I have on my insurance emergency road service that will reimburse the cost of lockouts, running out of gas, towing, and flat tires. It covers the service only, not the parts.
If you have a coat hanger( wire)..& a screwdriver its simple..
place srewdriver between door & pillar…up near the top of the window ( carefully lever door frame out)..its amazing how far you can go without doing any damage…
slide wire in through gap & pop lock..
should take about30 seconds..a bit longer cos its the first time youve done it…
If you have a membership to Triple A they can get it for you, also if you have a friend that has it they can use their card to help you out. I have done this before and called Triple A myself and another time when my friend called for me. If you call you just have to show ID when they get there (as well as the card) and if your friend calls their ID has to be shown with the card. This is a very easy and doesn’t cost any extra to the Triple A account. I hope that this helps you!
If you go to a dealer with the VIN and some proof of ownership, they might be able to make an extra key for you. Call and ask if you’re interested.
