Go to the local dealership and tell them your story. Bring registration and your vin number. Up here they're $5 a keyMRT

Psh. Find a way to prove the car is yours. I'm sure you have something, after all, you keep your registration in your wallet, right?
Here's what I found

I keep my registration in my glove box...
Do you have AAA? They can open your car for you. Once you do that, then you can find the nearest Honda dealership and have a key made. Trust me, that'd be MUCH easier than rekeying it! Plus, to rekey it, you'd need to get into it anyway.
The easiest way to rekey your car would be to find a junkyard car with a key. Take all locks, and the ignition switch. Put them in your car. Get copies of that key made so you can avoid this problem in the future (note to self... must make copies of ALL my car keys... I only have one of each myself!)

Give me about 7 days... I'll be right there.
Good luck, man. I know it sucks being stuck! You could always find a way to pop the lock (a coat hanger shoved through the rubber door seal works... I've done it a number of times.) then hotwire the car... I don't know how to do that, but it can be done. Drive it home, then fix the damage you did and replace the locks and ignition switch as mentioned above... or just get a new key. Not sure you want to keep the current locks and stuff with your key having been stolen.
Another thing that you could try is find another cb7 owner nearby and try their keys. Some CB7 keys have been known to open and start other cars. Usually due to wear in the tumbler assemblies. I was never able to do it, but it's been talked about on this site since 2003... and they've only grown older and more worn since then!

Use a tennis ball to pop the lock
I'd recommend hitting the ball thoughMRT

Does that actually work? It doesn't seem like it would at all.
But... I think I'm going to try it this weekend, just for the hell of it.
