Coming to think of it, they'd better left the doors unlocked or else you won't be able to roll it out of the container. To (legally) transport a personal vehicle in a container, they must disconnect and tape off the battery AND drain the fuel tank AND run the motor until it dies from fuel starvation. Lot's of folks don't bother with the "run until die" requirement, but I would most certainly bring a gallon of gas when you go to pick it up.

The battery is located under the trunk floor. Lift up the hard flooring, turn a couple of plastic fasteners (with a coin) to lift up a soft cover over the battery compartment. So only tool needed is to reconnect battery cables. An adjustable wrench should do the job.
Battery in the trunk floor +1 , very easy !
