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...



Would you think maybe the kind you pull up to open??

Or, the type you pull out to open.

what Honda/Acuras use those? Every one I've seen lately have lever locks.

This was on Mythbusters.

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