If there are pliers inside the trunk they may help you grip the cable.
Even if you’re unable to push the lights out, if you disconnect the wires, you increase the chance that whoever is driving the vehicle (if you’ve been abducted) will get pulled over by the police for a faulty brake light or taillight. Just remember that out of all the strategies, this is the one that will make the most noise. If you want to attract attention and haven’t been abducted, then creating noise will only help your case.
Keep in mind that even if you’re being quiet, the kidnapper may be able to hear the sweet “pop” of the trunk opening.
It’s better to jump out of the car while it’s moving slowly then when it’s completely stopped, because if the kidnapper stops the car and gets out, they may notice that you’ve popped the trunk open – and they’ll make sure you don’t do it again.
If your trunk can be opened remotely, the easiest thing to do is to hide a spare remote in the trunk. Make sure to tell your children and other family members where it is located and how it is operated. If your trunk cannot be opened remotely,you can purchase the supplies to install a trunk release yourself for about $4. Have the release installed for you if you are not confident in your mechanical abilities.
