As I am no longer in possession of the car's main key (irretrievable loss), I used the spare - and only other - key to lock and immobilise my Ford Mondeo Verona Hatchback. After opening the boot to shuffle some belongings, I inadvertatly closed the lid to, thus locking this key in (on a fob, with my house keys)! Can they be retrieved without my having to break a window? Please help.

Before you actually break in - the obvious way - have a word with your Ford main dealer, explain the problem, quote the reg. number and they MAY just have your key number on their records....you may need proof of i.d though for this. Its worth a try, I think.
