They got in with minimal damage, but couldn't get the steering-wheel lock off. Really! It's got a dent where they obviously tried a technique that may have worked on a different brand, but it didn't open it or alter its security. Mind you, I bought it some years ago when it was the only brand [link\|http://www.choice.com.au/\|Choice magazine] couldn't defeat.

It all depends on how badly they want it. I suspect with my vehicles I could leave it with the keys in it and not have them nicked. thanx, bill Our bureaucracy and our laws have turned the world into a clean, safe work camp.

Post #6,428 by Another Scott 8/23/01 8:27:02 AM Reply	You might be surprised.... My mom's beater '86 Olds 98 with 300,000 miles on it was stolen. From her church parking lot. By a 16 year old kid. He apparently used a "slide hammer" to yank the lock cylinder. In the process the headlight switch was damaged so the high-beams headlights were always on. To "fix it" he bashed out the high-beams. Oh, and he smashed up the rear end by backing into something. Of couse, as "luck" would have it, he was caught a day or so later, so "luckily" she got it back. A few hundred to fix the damage (except for the bodywork which it still suffers with). Being a minor, nothing of consequence was done to him. She's talked of suing his parents in small claims court, but it's been just talk so far. Don't underestimate the stupidity of people who steal cars... Cheers, Scott.
