From the many previous Post I've read, it seems "normal" for the batteries to go dead after a short rest of 10+ days. Not that I'm liking this...as I've had my '06 Boxster S for 18 months and already I've replaced the batteries three (3) times! I have not been able to figure out where the electrical draw is coming from, as everything seems to be "off" when it sits for 10+ days.

A question I have would be: If you've locked the doors on the car and the battery becomes dead, then what do you do?

I know what to do if the doors are unlocked and accessing the fuse box, but if the doors are locked, how do you get access to the trunk to jump start the car? This situation hasn't happened, but I'm imagining that it can.
