I'm not sure. About 5 miles from where I live, 2 guys pushed a woman into the trunk of her car at the grocery store and then drove off in it. Unfortunately for them, she had her cell and called the police. It is not as rare as it sounds.   See 9 other replies

Extremely detailed advice. The only issue is that any reasonably intelligent kidnapper would probably remove the tools from the trunk beforehand.   See 9 other replies

If you can get the trunk open you can open it partway to view your surroundings and wait for the opportunity for a quick escape such as at a red light. Keep in mind that the idiot light on the dashboard will tip the driver off that the trunk isn’t shut so you might not have much time after raising the trunk lid; you might want to hold it down if you know you’re still in the city (indicated by frequent stops and/or turns) and time your escape accordingly.If you can’t get the latch open you might be able to unscrew the taillight assembly or break it off enabling you to bust the outer reflective lens out. If you can manage that, you’ll have enough room to stick your arm out and signal passerby’s.Some of the above advice is naturally assuming your wrists and ankles aren’t tied and this were to happen at night but even if it was during the day, busting out the outer lens would let some light in the trunk allowing you to search for tools, cables, latches and signal passerby’s.   See 9 other replies
