Forget about the Fob. With the nutszy key that VW has, I would think it would be almost impossible to pick the lock. If VW can't help in a timely manner, I would have to strongly consider breaking a rear window, reaching in and opening a front door and then tapping on the button that opens the trunk.
I carry the valet key in my wallet for this kind of situation. I wish the valet key were not so wide, but it is what it is. At least it doesn't have a Fob on it.
Based on what I've paid for other windows in cars, I wouldn't think the rear window would cost more than $250. In terms of labor, perhaps a front side window would be cheaper to work on replacing.
Good luck and let us know how you solved the problem.
PS If you don't want to carry the valet key, wiring it somewhere on the undercarriage might be a good idea.
