It's good to see that some businesses are at least making an effort to keep
everyone legal <g>.

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....

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.

My son and his wife were locked out of their '89 Accord LXi when we were
visiting a couple years ago. 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?
