Stepson's just broke into our car with a tent peg and NO prior knowledge of how to do it...
That's nothing... I can do it with a brick and I've never been trained as a brickie!

Can be done with a half a tennis ball apparently and I hate tennis
The question is 'What Car'
kit or tin top.
I could break into my cortina Mk 1 with a lolly stick!

My dad once stole a Granada by accident, his key worked and it was the same colour. He tought it sounded wrong so he stopped, still in the same car
park and the owner came running at him. He also claims that in the early days of remote locking that the bloke down the street had it on his rover but
that it also opened ours, which didn't have a remote.
Why was he breaking in, if I got caught I'd claim it was the first time, like when you get caught smoking or drinking.
He was breaking in because he'd locked the keys in, and it is a (fairly) modern tintop. Tbh not what I was expecting from a car of that age...
Mk1 nova was special, you could get in with a 12" rule then pull the hazard switch out and plug it in upside down and all the ignition lights would come on for you, seriously!

I used a girl-friends hair grip one day when I lost the keys to my mk1 cortina.
Gob smacked a copper one day when I took about 15 seconds to get into a Montego with just a length of 10mm parcel/pallet strapping. The plod had spent about 2 hours trying different keys and devices.
Lolly stick just pushed into the door lock and turned.
tennis ball only worked on mk3 escort and was very hard to do it.
best way was use the KEY...
Good thump in the middle of the bumper on a Mk1 Mondoe.. hey presto, doors unlock.. too hard mind and the airbag goes off as well

Was that doubled, slid between the door seal and the pillar and then one side slid to curl it round to pull the locking knob? Years ago, someone in a Cortina blocked me in when I was on a tight deadline - I was parked nose on to a fence and between two other cars, he parked across the back of all three cars. At some stage he will have returned and found his car all locked up, twenty-feet away at a silly angle.
