This morning while getting my books and what not from my trunk, I think I locked my keys inside of it. I feel so stupid right now.
I have no back up key and no key fob. Someone please help me.
I have work in 2.5 hours and really need my keys :(

I'm at my house; and no, I'm not breaking my window to open my trunk.
I have contemplated slashing my soft top, but then I would be out one soft, and would need to come up with a $1000 deductible to replace it.

you are probably going to have to call a locksmith. expect it to be between 50 and 100 bucks? You could call for some quotes. if they are very high, go online, join AAA and you can use it immediately. I did that over the phone once actually and got a tow. The lock out service is free one time, I believe. Or, if you have a generous friend who's in AAA they might loan you the service, I don't think AAA cares what car it is, it follows the member (I could be wrong).
Keep in mind, whichever route you go, you'll probably be late for work. You might want to think about getting there another way as opposed to breaking anything that'll cost you more than cab or bus fare.

Call a tow truck company right now and tell em to bring a slim jim. You can open the front door with it without breaking anything.

Well, luckily my mom came home early. She just got off the phone with our Insurance company and the will cover the cost of the Road Side Assistance. They should be here within 35 minutes.
Phew! That was a close one.

that's the best idea.
Although I would think it's cheaper to replace a broken window than a slashed out softtop. Good luck!

Someone did me the favor of "liberating" my radar detector via a broken window last year. The window. had I had to buy it new, was around $165 IIRC, and installation was $70.
Faced with the choice of breaking a window vs. slashing a top, I'll take the broken window ANY day.

Too bad I didn't see this when you posted it. A locked S2000 is one of the easiest cars to get into using a coat hanger. So long as you have not done the Modifry wiring swap between the accessory plug power and trunk release button power, getting into the trunk is also easy. There is absolutely no need to be even thinking about cutting into the soft top. Even with a hardtop, it's easy to open a locked S2000 door. I won't post it up here even though I'm sure a thief already knows how.

That's a pretty good wiring swap. I'm still torn as to which way I like it better.
