If someone is locked in your car and you're the owner you simply use the key and open the door, no need to break anything, except in a Tesla.

Some cars aren't quite that simple, on newer models they're hiding the keyhole on the bottom side of the handle behind a cover. But usually those models won't lock with the keys inside the car

My keyfob battery was dead and I couldn’t use the hidden keyhole to unlock it. I watched a video on YouTube but I still wasn’t able to make it work. It wasn’t an emergency but I would just break the glass if it was one.

Unless your keys get locked inside too
