Bing bing bing bing....

There was a small quartz pebble stuck in there.

Normally I am very careful and meticulous with the cars. Today I was tired and annoyed. So I took a mallet and a drift and just wacked the tumbler in with the key all the way to the left. Rock broke up and trunk opened.

All is well. No ill effects.
