breaking into cars

friend of mine's a cop...had a refresher today on auto theft. turns out thieves have discovered that the type of 'pull' type locks can be opened by

drilling a small hole in a tennis ball

placing on keyhole

hittting tennis ball sharply, forcing air into lock....

if these guys got real jobs they'd be millionaires...

This was on Mythbusters.

Busted. They even used an air compressor - still busted.
