To prevent this all from happening, when I first purchase my car, I got a little kit from the PNW Delorean Club which had two flex cables in it....very small probably aircraft stainless steel....One was for the "trunk" and fastened to the release trigger and then went thru the firewall and formed a loop up under the dash, which you pull on at any time to release the trunk. I have tried it a few times and it always works. The other cable was for the rear engine compartment and sort of did the same thing. The loop ended up behind the license plate. Of course this thought wont help someone who is locked out!!!
