If entrepreneurish fails, try car theft Tuesday, June 26, 2007
I was astonished by this video - no idea if it works as yet, but if it does............mine's the new SLK parked over there.

No wait, they only show you how to get in to it, not start it.

Interesting video. This used to be a well-known method for breaking into cars some 20 years ago in South Africa, but was replaced by the more certain result method of hi-jacking the car at gun point when the driver was actually present. I thought the car manufacturers had moved away from the vacuum/air-pressure locking mechanisms precisely because of the tennis ball method of unlocking. Presumably this is not the case in the UK. The hi-jack method was adopted in SA as a response to Insurers' demands for quality alarms and immobilisation systems on cars to prevent theft when the driver was away from the car.
