Default Mysterious trunk door openings

The next morning after we bought the 2008 Camry, my wife and I found the trunk open. The car was parked outside in the rain. Neither of us thought we had left the trunk open, because the last time we had seen the car it had been fine, but I accepted that someone made a mistake.

Two weeks later though, same problem. This time I was the last to use the car, and I drove it 15 kilometres after closing the trunk. Between the time I eyed it as I walked into the house and the next morning, the door opened again.

The dealer thought I might have triggered the trunk release accidentally by touching the SmartKey in my pocket. But I couldn't simulate that at all. It takes a firm, long push to open the trunk remotely. After checking the sensors and finding nothing wrong, and with no other such issue reported through official channels, the dealer is contacting Toyota.

Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? Anyone with a similar problem?

Thanks
