NOTHING.

how easy is it to smash the taillight and go in that way? thats pretty much all i've got left at this point.
When you went insided by way of the First Aid Box hole did what you could see look like in the Pic? (This is Mine and I have no Alarm System. The ones with the Alarm System have more stuff in that hole.)

If your Car has the Factory Alarm System on it the Trunk Lock is different and there is a Pull Cable somwhere at the Bottom of the rear Seat.
