HELP (door wont open) mk2 goof

hi
i done the mod that i have done to all my past mk2's the other day which was to modify a rear door handle to de-lock the front door.
yesterday i caught some shuffling a+sehole trying to get into it but obviously he ran and left my car.
Now i have a problem, he has pulled the lever on the handle back so hard that it has stuck and wont return to the normal position, the door wont open using the inside lever either
now i dont know what to do, i cant take the door handle off coz the door needs to be open for that, i cant take the door card off coz i need the door open for that too.
I'm stuck and don't know what to do, can anyone help me please

Cheers
John

try getting a screwdriver to *pop* the little handle out of the big one, if u know what i mean? might work

if push comes to shove, rip the door card off :/



butt you can ttry forcing the lever bak , pivit the lever with a flathead till u hear it pop, if nt take the actuall door handle off nd puyll the lock with pliers :/

what people used to do was to hammer a screwdriver into the lock and turn it
