Default Theft drilled lock and drained battery, how do I get in???

Hi, new here. I had a thief drill my drivers lock and managed to drain the battery. Obviously can’t use my key fob or key in the drivers door to get in. Am I screwed?

Edit: They locked the doors when they left evidently.

No not screwed.

You have a few options.

Find someone to "pop" the lock, or use a "break in" kit to pop the lock internals. Or jack it up, remove the undertray, hook up jumper leads to the starter motor to power up the battery & use your remote to unlock the car.
