Yep ive stupidly gone and locked the keys in my car!

although it is a spare car, (mk4). it has no battery in it. i was just finishing doing a few things to it, then i manually locked the doors, only to find the keys are still in the ignition! The boot is locked as i had manually locked before

anywhom the bonnet is still open and i can give it some life if need be, could a kind soul please guide me as to how i can retreive the keys with minimal (or preferably no) damage?

thanks

 Would connecting a battery pop the locks? It may well do - worth a try!

AA or RAC???

this might be a stupid question, but if you manually locked the car, would you of not done this with .............. a key?

 have you got the plastic key?

 i know the recovery services will def be able to get in with the bonnet popped,  im not 100% sure how they do it but they got into a mates this way

yeah the guy powered the ignition up and bent the door back and hit the window switch with a rod

Smash a front window after putting sticky tape on it to minimise the mess,£10 from the breakers yard for a second hand window and about an hour at the most to DIY replace it.

The car can't be unlocked from the ECU which only controls the engine functions.To do it to that level of technicalness you'd need access to the CCM and something that can write CAN-BUS data.
There is a much,much easier way that only needs you to...........................
