Hi Ron,
That is tough having a car stolen.  Too bad you didn't check out the CORSA 
Tech Guide and Supplement.  There is an extremely simple way to lock the 
rear trunk using only a NAIL!  I used another approach described with a 
self-locking Nylock nut held to the inside of the latch and using an Allen 
head screw to lock the latch.  An Allen wrench is used as a key.  The whole 
setup cost maybe $3 or so plus just a little labor JB Welding the nut in 
there and drilling a hole or two.  Gotta love that CORSA Tech Guide!
