If the door is opened... Why not just pull the lever to open it

Maybe they've locked the trunk.

If that's the case, the back seat needs to come out and you need to remove the trunk liner from the inside, crawl in and use the trunk release lever.

You could use your tools and take apart the lever that opens the trunk. There is a small pin behind the spot where the key goes, you just push that in and it will unlock the trunk lever.

When the alarm is triggered the lever switch is disabled. You would need to disable the alarm first by turning the lock barrel on the door, (or simulate the unlock of the door somehow). If the valet lock switch is pressed in then you need to release that lock switch next.
