I CANNOT figure this out...... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TheHappyBurgerMeister · 07-09-2003, 09:48 PM

OK, I need to ask you all something that I cannot figure out. Well, today at work the cleaning guy and the other girl I was working with were having a little "argument". She said that she ALWAYS locks her car doors, but the cleaning guy kept telling her that he could break into her car WITHOUT breaking any windows, cutting any wires, or breaking anything else, with the doors locked. She, myself and the other works could NOT figure out how he could do this! He wasn't going to actually do it, he was just saying he that he could. He looks like sort of this really smart nerd who knows A LOT about mechanical things. Does anyone here know a lot about cars and can figure out HOW he could do this? It also was annoying me because he kept asking her if she wanted to bet on it, but she didn't.

ooooo that's weird. I mean there is obviously a way to unlock doors without a key without breaking any windows, but... to get into a car while it still being locked? Hmm..

bandito · 07-09-2003, 10:01 PM

There are tools that are made for getting into locked cars. ones called a slim jim they make lock picks, etc..

Rockapella722 · 07-09-2003, 10:03 PM

I have no doubt that there are MANY devices to do such, though I don't know what they are.

maybe it's a convertible? i dunno.

BrandonS · 07-09-2003, 10:32 PM

It's pretty much always possible to stick a coat hanger or other instrument between the window and the door and open the lock. This is what AAA usually does when you lock yourself out of your car.

Dang it, BrandonS! I was just going to reply to this post with the same answer. This happened to my mom once back in 1999 - she accidentally locked her keys in the car and we had to unbend a clothes hanger to get to the lock.

OMG, I cannot believe I never thought of a coathanger! I never had to use one, but I know you can use it to get into cars. Thanks to those who said that!

Some of the old cars I used to own could easily be opened with a hanger. Either snaked inside the door to pop the lever the way you would use a slim jim(which is hard if you don't know where the lever is located) or by geting the hanger down inside the window and pulling on the lock.
I used to own a pickup truck, and I could simply open the sliding rear window of the cab and reach in and unlock the truck.

Late modle cars have tighter seals around the doors and power windows keep the windows tightly closed, so using a hanger or a slim jim is harder.

A slim jim is a neat device. A friend of mine in law enforcement owns one.

Mijada · 07-10-2003, 08:15 PM

It can definately be done. I locked my keys in my car once and this guy I was dating at the time had his buddy come over with one of those Slim Jim things that bandito mentioned. He had that door unlocked in about five minutes.
