The most common cause is an oversensitive trunk release button on your key fob being depressed by a something else (or even the keys) in your pocket. I had my trunk "open itself" one night for that reason; just glad I didn't have any valuables in there and that it wasn't raining. After that, I installed an in-trunk SPDT switch in the wire to the trunk release solenoid (inside the trunk) after that, so I can disable the remote unless I'm using the trunk a lot.Any theories on how your trunk was opened?? I'd be looking into that more than worrying about the LEO... I'd be thanking him personally.

Scenario 2: OP or loved one is forced into trunk by kidnapper and/or rapist... Hilarious article appears in next month's "Armed Citizen" column.
Scenario 3: OP drives up on zombies attacking a bus load of Swedish bikini models. OP opens trunk, saves the day, and drives off into the sunset surrounded by sexy blondes and drinking margaritas.
