I am totally stealing a car now. Anyone got a hot wiring vid too.

gonna try this one out on a beemer, if it works then they are not worth da price.

Wunderbar!

Damn! Now I am worried about my car if it's THAT easy to get into...

i know a similar trick, but involves a rock and lots of broken glass...:)

That's a tremendous usage of physics : I love it !!!

Thank for sharing it with us

It doesn't work, the Mythbusters tested it, as have I.

exactly, who carries a tennis ball around. there are rocks all over the place!

i would imagine it would matter if the tumblers were well lubed and also temperature.. ever try unlocking a car in subzero temps? great concept tho.

I have tried this at work. It did not work for me. But, if you have a remote fob and a cellphone, you can unlock a car by long distance. My daughter locked the keys to the car inside. She calls me and said can you bring me the key. I told her to hold her cellphone close to the car. I punched my remote unlock key and it worked. No it does not have Onstar, in case you were wondering. Something to do with the frequency I imagine.

^ that is pretty badass, I gotta try that out.

Tennis Ball or maybe the remote control....
