Re: Stolen Honda
Probably someone had the same key. I used to own a 1984 Toyota corolla, and
was looking at buying a newer car. It was a 1989 Toyota Celica, and it was left parked in a lot so I could go look at it. I tried my key for my corolla, just for fun, and sure enough it fit and opened the door.... <GillPickle@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1107659611.910160.200730@z14g2000cwz.googlegr oups.com... > My '92 honda accord was stolen and recovered a few days later.

Re: Stolen Honda
They used a "slimjim" to gain access to the vehicle....can't explain how
they were so clean in starting the car though. FWIW, if you have a Mitsubishi Mighty Max PU, you can gain entry into the locked cab with a rectangular shaped cardboard box cut out. <GillPickle@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1107659611.910160.200730@z14g2000cwz.googlegr oups.com... > My '92 honda accord was stolen and recovered a few days later.

I called road service and the guy who showed up was confident he would get it open. The Slim Jim (his first attempt) simply didn't do the job - there was nothing he could hook to move it in a direction he could use. (Slim Jims are made for the type of lock that lift up to unlock.) Ultimately he used two padded pry bars and a set of padded wedges to pull the top rear of the driver's door away from the body and he went through that gap to get a hook on the door lock. It took him maybe 15 or 20 minutes, and he was very conspicuous while doing it. He really earned his $35!

Re: Stolen Honda
I have, one more than one occasion taken my slim jim, put a bend in it
inserted it through the top of the door, and knocked at the lock sideways until it popped open. I have also used cb and ham radio antenae on a number of occasions. Honda'a arent that hard to get into, although they are harder than the old K cars, 7seconds start to entry.

Perhaps someone in your life participated in stealing it. For example, a house maid, a girl friend, a wife's friend. Perhaps your house was broken into and someone stole a spare key. Do you know where all your spare keys are? |
