are your windows frameless? That is, when you open the door, is there a frame around the window? I know in a frameless car(first gen Neon) it is really easy to break in. Just get a wedge, put it on the top of the glass, push down enough for the window to bend out(dont break it!) and put your arm down there.

Break the little window (the one that you cannot roll down) on the back seat will probably be your cheapest way to get into your car. Replacing a non-moving window is relatively cheaper. I once locked my keys in my really old 84 Buick Century and took a professional lock smith a good 50 mins to unlock it. Older cars are easier to unlock using hangers, newer cars are a lot tougher.
