Hard to break into...but I guess that's a good thing

well I must say getting into a scirocco is extremely hard......
The story
well after months of organising a massive charity event for help 4 heroes this Sunday what could possibly go wrong.........
Well, with over 60 anglers traveling from all over the U.K and expecting me approx 100 miles from where I lived at 6 a.m the following morning....it was not a good point to here my misses announce "you are going to kill me" why I wondered....."i've just locked the keys in the boot"
OH MY GOD...it was 8 p.m the night before the event, now in normal circumstances i'd have reached for the spare key...however the person I had left it with in case of an emergency, was nowhere to be found!!! "i know" I thought, i'll ring my mate who owns a windscreen company, he will be able to come and take out some glass and re-bond it...."oh no he couldn't, it was Saturday night he was on the lash away from town"
Thank god for my neighbour who had friends and family cover...within 20 minutes the friendly RAC man turns up, gets out his lock picking kit and gets to work...45 minutes later he can only get 2 of the tumblers to fall
He then tells me how on Audi TT's of all ages you can pump the window out of the rubber enough to get his metal rods in...great stuff i thought....wrong....after another 30 minutes the window would not even remotely come out of the rubber!!!
As we were about to give up and I was going to have to resort to smashing a window
, he noticed the lip on the boot.....he placed his pump pads in there and was able to pump the boot open a bit...so with it now slightly ajar in one corner, with some wire rods, a headlamp and the patience of jobe, we were able to lift the parcel shelf, shine the light in and spend the next hour manipulating a wire rod in order to eventually hook the keys and pull them to the gap and unlock the car 
I could have kissed the bloke...but with the time now getting late and having to get up at stupid o'clock I said my thanks and gratefully signed up to the R.A.C for a measly £9 a month for all the cover I will ever need
