    For some reason I thought altezzas were pillarless :/

    Bend the door back and stick a coathanger down to push the lock release button, shouldn't be too hard to do, you'll have a good bit of movement before you get close to breaking glass, windscreen cover will cover it if you have it anyway. (because a stone may have flown up from a lorry and hit it)

    Then once done, use a carefully placed block of timber to bend the door back

    I saw this recently... might work for you !

    Failing that, if you have an insurance policy with breakdown cover, they might also cover locking your keys in the car.

    That's scary! I'm glad mine doesn't have the "pop up" locks
