We were at the intercoastal fishing once, it was late at night and we just pulled in with a few friends... a guy comes up to my friend and asks him if he could borrow a cell phone to call a locksmith because he just locked his keys in his car... The guy must have though we were some kinda car theives when my buddy used his slim-jim kit and popped his door open.

Trust me the last thing a car theif is worried about is getting into our cars, thats the easy part. Getting past vats is what stops the rookies.

well, I locked my cars in my car about two weeks ago, and I got them out with no problem, heh, find a long sturdy wire that bend so easily, bend one end about an inch *to pull the lock from inside the door* and pull the window *outwards* just enough to get the wire in to reach the lock, and get it on there right, pull, and you should be good i think? worked for me lol...t/a's and maros are easy to break into if keys get locked unless u have an alarm....
