Default Valet key

I just bought a 2004 TT Roadster. I want to lock my computer and stuff in the trunk when I leave the car in a parking garage. The dealer gave me a valet key, but if the parking garage guys can get into the car, all they have to do is use the release button inside the car. What am i missing, what is the point of the valet key if there is no exterior lock to the trunk? Am I missing the obvious? Any suggestions would be appreciated

Default Guess you'll have to stuff em in the glove box!...>

Er...NOT recommended! For other than that, the Valet key is pretty worthless... Valet's should be avoided at all costs anyway..

thanks- great idea! the point is there is no way to secure the trunk and leave the ignition key with an attendant.

You can unplug the wire to the trunk release button. Not elegant, but functional.

Park the car yourself, stuff the valet in the trunk, lock the valuables inside the car. Keep the key
