whatever was in your trunk was still there. <g>

   I would imagine so  
   Had no problems at all when in NYC.  The part of Manhattan I was in
was totally safe.  To me anyway.
   Speaking of trunks popping open and no one around.
   A few years ago at work I was going to make a money run to the bank
with meter money, which was always a police escort.  The fella giving me
the ride forgot something and back into the station.  I was standing
beside the cruiser and thought I had heard snow slide off the station
roof and went to see but nothing there.  Walking past the cruiser where a
co-worker was standing suddenly the trunk popped open and closed again. 
We were laughing about that when suddenly the engine burst into flames
with the hood opening, doors opening, etc.  There was some sort of
"malfunction" and what I thought was snow sliding off the roof were the
airbags opening.
   We were very fortunate since if we left when planned we would have
been in traffic when that happened.
   I walked into the station telling the day commander, "One of your cars
is on fire".  He looked out, freaked out, and grabbed a fire extinguisher
but it took the fire department to totally put it out. 
   We called that Impala "old sparky" after that.  
   It was retired and sat in a garage for years until it finally
disappeared.
