I had one used on my Trans Am and it worked fine ... wouldn't wnat just anyone trying it though without knowing it wouldn't pull loose any wiring connectors. Go online real quick and see if you can find a diagram of where everything in the door is located and you should be able to tell if it's safe to do without hosing anything up.

Yes, have a key made from any GM dealer. If would be advisable to call that locksmith, if you do go with the key from a dealer, as I'm sure the locksmith will still charge you if he comes and doesn't unlock your car.

occasionally people will suggest this trying to see how many people will go for it...he most likely copied it from a forwarded email, notice the >'s....and you know how reliable those are...
edit: here's the snopes article...verifying it's false...

Yeah, Ive gotten into my car many times just pull the window. If It helps you can use a some oil(cooking) or somthing and your arm will slide right in. I swear there is so many ways to get into a Fbody its not even funny.
