I've been away for a bit, and haven't driven the Tuscan in a couple of weeks, so when I came back it turned out that the battery has gone completely flat.

So far, not too big a deal... except I appear to have left the Anderson connector jump leads in the boot - well, I can't find them anywhere else, at least. The boot obviously won't open because the battery is completely dead. I would appreciate any help / suggestions to sort this out! (ideally today while the weather's nice and I'm at home). I don't have a battery conditioner, but I do have another car handy to jump start the TVR from. Options as I see them:

1) I am aware of a "secret entry method" but I don't know the details - maybe this would help get in?
2) Jack the car up, take off the front nearside wheel, open up the battery box and use a normal set of jump leads (unfortunately I don't think I have a normal set in the house)
3) Buy another set of Anderson connector jump leads and use those
4) [optimistic] I wonder if someone else in the South Oxfordshire area with a spare set of Anderson connector jump leads might be able to help me out?!

Let me know if anyone has any bright ideas, or I'll probably go for option 3. Thanks in advance!
