Pretty scary!

I would be interested to know more about the "special knowledge" that is required.

Edit: the alarm did start going nuts after a bit. When it did, I still could not open the car. However it is pretty loud, so to the point of this thread, I would think someone would have noticed and helped the girl?
It is odd that pulling on the lever doesn't unlock and open the door.
I don't know exactly, but I believe I once was in my 135i passenger side cleaning and one of the kids locked the car. I seem to remember being able to unlock the door and open it just by pulling on the latch lever.
But that was a 135i and I don't have it anymore to try it out.

Also, I thought not all BMW's have a security system?
And, I just read the 07 manual that states that if you do have the alarm, then motion inside the car will trigger the alarm setting off the horn and flashing lights.

True tragedy over something so seemingly benign.
