Stranded bike, broken key. Any advice?

Hey everybody. I'm in a bind. Or a nightmare.

I locked my bike outside my local grocery store a while ago (actually, a LONG while ago) and when I tried to unlock it my key broke. I turned the key too forcefully and the end of it snapped off. Now it's stuck inside the lock.

So I'm turning you y'all. I've asked around a bit and I'm aware of a couple of my options, but I'm wondering what advice you have. What can I do? How screwed am I? Is it advisable to travel back in time and not buy a u-lock?

Thanks

Haha. Nice job.  

I wrote Lincoln Park up there, when I meant Linkin Park.  :\

Awe-inspiring. You win this thread.

 Needs more pathos, though. (*sob, sniff*)
