Trunk lock broke - how to open the trunk?

Glad you were able to get in the trunk and get it open. I figured I would wait until you finished to tell you that I had to do that once with a 69 Dodge Charger R/T that I dragged in. While I was crawled into the trunk and removing the lock, I felt something start crawling across my neck. I knew immediately what it was and thought it would never stop! When I got the lock removed and the trunk lid opened, over in the corner was an adult black snake around 4 feet long! It was just as scared of me as I had been of it when it crawled across my neck, so I got some gloves and got it out of the car. It lived nearby for maybe 5 years before a Hawk killed it.
Damn that is an absolute nightmare! Good to hear nothing bad happened. That's one of many reasons why I'm glad to live in central europe. We don't have those big boys here. The only danger noodles we know here are the adders.
