Default Locked my keys in my trunk

So I have a 92 SC400 and I locked my keys in my trunk I know I know how the hell did I do this I just wasn't paying attention. My stock security systems was on at the time I called pop a lock and they got my in my car but the alrma went off and the trunk release button does not work for some reason " worked all the time before this" Maybe it thinks it being really being broken into and its a security feature. Anyways was wondering what are good ways for me to get my keys? If anyone knows please let me know

Another option is you could get a new key made based on vin number. That's what I did

No, pull that whole panel out. There is a white button on the side of the lock that releases the valet lock. Just push the button.

If you pop the panel, you can unplug the button and jump it with a paper clip. I've done the same thing as you.

Ahh that sucks man. I did the same thing once and freaked out till I realized I was at home and had a spare key.
Do what was suggested earlier by StudioGeek or Vrank if you're at home, no reason to break the valet lock.
