broken door handles Sign In

I have a 1992 VW Corrado SLC and both door handles are broken, so I can't even get into the car. The door handles pull out but they wont open the door. They don't even retract in. Also the rear hatch lock is broken. It pushes in, but I can't turn it with my key. I really don't want to have to break anything to get into it. Is there any alternative. Thanks

What the heck happened!! Without being there I suggest a motor club like AAA even if you are not a member of one now chances are you'll save $$ in less being broken with some help and then get this fixed.........

TO add:

Try also calling a Lock Smith..they have tools to get in..
There is a way to pry back on the top of the doors on certain models (Lightly)(CAREFULLY)...and with a long curved/bent tool can access the lock on the inside of the door and open it....(Don't try this without proper tools/experience) or<< AT YOUR OWN RISK>>>
Based on what type of locks there are,diffferent tools are made to gain access.

OF course, a Lock Smith is expensive...but ...

HEY>>>BTW...How did it get in this condition?....Attempted theft?..Neglect?
Just curious
