i think the fewer ppl who know about getting into the boot the better. the mx5 boot is the only safe haven in the car.

invest in a electronic boot release and hide the button somewhere, not only does it make opening the boot piss easy but you can open it in times like these.

I know this has been solved, but for future reference there is no need to drill/damage the car.
Simply take out one of the front door locks (assuming there the same key) take them down to a local locksmith and get them to cut you a key to fit the lock. It will cost around $7 if they can read the code or around $20 if they cant, and thats for two keys.
I found this out when i droped my keys of a boat.

i think you can also take out the rear carpet, unbolt the aluminium cover and reach in that way.

...bit hard to do if you've already locked yourself out of the car, isn't it?
