Does it open with a key or by a lever inside the car? If it's a lever, most cars have a pull cord inside the boot, behind the carpet, in case the cable snaps etc.

Opening flaps? Usually some diamonds, shoes or a Louis Vuitton bag does the trick

lol, lets say Ive got a surprise to leave in someones fuel tank that I don't want them to know about till they're using (or trying to rofl!!). Hence why I need to open it from the outside without access to the inside and causing little or no damage. As to not ruin the surprise for them..

you do realise thats why they put a lock on them so nobody can do what you wanna do without damage.

Not the brightest of folk, posting your intentions to sabotage someones car for whatever reason, be a man about it and go knock on his front door if you have issues with him, annoys me when people take problems they have with people out on there cars, cowardly and an easy target.

been a man about it thats why he lives over the road from his mommys and daddys, with cctv. And ive even waited for him to turn up when he said he was coming to "wail me". Its called hitting them where it hurts in the pocket. There are many people that are willing to do me a favour and send him to hospital for a holiday, so I wouldnt have to get my own hands dirty. Oh, i was giving away free diesel if you read my previous post.
