trunk lock

I have posted this also on diesel discussion, so I aplogize if it is redundant, but another person on the forum suggested I also post this question here. Thanks.

My car's trunk lock hasn't worked since before I owned it. Today I was messing with the vacuum locking system (which I will put another post out asking for help with) but in the process I used my mitivac to look for leaks and I inadvertently locked my trunk (with the vacuum from the mitivac) and the gas tank. I then shut the trunk lid unknowingly. Keep in mind, my vacuum pump is disconnected.

My trunk will not open with any of the keys I have (and never would). So now I cannot get into the trunk or into my diesel tank. I am hopeful that the lock can be picked by me (and I am inexperienced at such things) or by a lock smith. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed to open my trunk ?

Thanks.
