If that ever happens, I think the back seats have latches where you can bring them down and that leads directly to your trunk. But if you are putting something in your trunk, the best thing to do is leave your car unlocked. It is strange that the 05-09 Stangs don't have a trunk release inside of the car.

Unless its a convertable S197 Mustang, then you are sheit out of luck...
Trunk open, key in the lock. Period.
Cant lock them in if you leave the key in the lock until the trunk is closed again.
Only idiots lock their keys in the trunk.
With this PATS carp, I always carry an extra key with me 24/7/365.

Relocate the fuel filler to the trunk for maximum security...

But all jokes aside, if someone can siphon fuel from around the
one way flap just inside the fuel tank inlet at the end of the 2 feet
of 1" ID filler hose, then they earned the fuel and can have it.

hehe I've never locked my keys in the trunk but every time I think about just setting my keys in the trunk for a moment.. I remember of a guy that posted who locked his keys and had a vert.. had to pay for a locksmith LOL. It's more than enough to remind me not to do it.
