Default Please help lockout!!! Cant get into trunk!!!

This has been 24 hours of hell.. Flattened 2 tires on FDR last night from pothole along with at least 5 other drivers. Had to get flatbedded at 2AM. Anyway it gets worse. I went into the trunk to search for jack while parked in my garage. I dumbed out and accidently locked my ONLY key in the trunk. I have no other key currently. Tow service got into the car but we were unable to get into trunk. It appears as though the towo trunk release buttons are all electric and thats whats killing me. Is there any manual way to get into trunk??? Please help guys. Thanx in advance. Ive been calling lexus service dept and they are closed.

The trunk release button next to the fuel door opener have always worked for me even if the car is not on, & for the other in the center console, read this post/thread & see if it helps :

Believe it or not Rominl, I used to read the manual all the time. I always do with my cars or any car thats around me. I even read it before purchasing the car. But guess what.......my manual was actually in the trunk.
