For what...turning a key? If they have the key there isn't much to stop them. I didn't know where my key went till someone told me.

Well, then lets follow this line of logic and help all car thieves with all brands of cars:

USE THE KEY THAT YOU HAVE TO GET INTO THE CAR BY PUTTING IT IN THE KEYHOLE AND TURNING IT

There, its out!

He wants to know how to get in without the key since he said it didn't work. Maybe you should read the thread next time.

Brick. It isn't hard to do, and every car thief is already aware that glass is easy to break.

He called me, didn't block his # and got into the car by jumping it at the starter. His key didn't work. But after he got it charging for some reason it would work then. There are easier ways to steal a car.

OK. Great to hear. But I'm always skeptical of posts like these. It must be because of this F-ed up world we live in.

I read every post, the point of my post was as Vetted and Shopdog said.....ITS JUST A KEY. Like telling someone that a brick can be used to smash a window....its not really helping a thief all that much....

Glad the OP, oops, I mean "thief", got the car going.........sheesh
