3. Grab shaft of said 'screw driver' to see if it is loose. It is, so you move it.
4. Think to yourself its gotta be a 'stubby' screwdriver as there is no way a full size one could have been jammed in there.
5. As you think 'its not worth the trouble to try to get it out' give the trunk deck a push down to close it.

I hope this tutorial helps out those who want to lock themselves out.
Oh-I almost forgot:

6. When the trunk shuts suddenly realize that it is the trunk lock vacum device, not a lost tool.
