So you're implying that we're dealing with a professional here? I really don't have a lot of knowledge on the subject, but doesn't somebody capable of starting a car without a key generally not have a lot of trouble
getting into the car in the first place? If they're capable of starting the car it's a whole new ball game---the headlights become just one small piece of a much bigger package.

And of course the other matter I didn't mention earlier (but should have) is this: Even if the frunk of a locked Boxster
does open when the lever is pulled (not established---I'm bettin' it won't), you'd also have a situation where the intended crook is fiddling around with pulling headlights while they are flashing wildly and the horn's blaring. Although I'm sure there are exceptions, in general I can't imagine too many bad guys sticking around under those conditions. If they were willing to deal with 10 or 15 seconds of noise and lights, I guess somebody who knew what he was doing could disable the alarm---maybe as easily as just pulling a fuse?
KB, I'd go out and test my electronic release disabled theory for you but it's a little early in the morning to deal with the racket of the alarm. Later, for sure...
