Can I get a key made at a dealership?

I was stupid and locked my only set of keys for my Berlinetta, inside my Berlinetta. Can dealerships make keys with the vin#?

I dunno, call them and ask, or call a locksmith, or I could break into it for ya! I saw it done by a junkyard employee; I needed the hatch motor, and they didn't have the key. He broke in in maybe 30 seconds, with minimal noise! Shocked the hell outta me.

A few dealers around here will actually make the keys for free!! The one I work for does, as does the local Chevy dealer.....

Well I finally got the keys out of it, with a coat hanger and prying the glass back a little. The dealership that I called was stupid.
