basicaly all cars without door frames can be stolen easily. .Subaru's~Z's~convertables. . .i've done so many for customer's and my GF locking her STI a few times.. . im a pro!! even cars with door frames i've got the solution for that 2. .and it's not a jimmy. .it's a rod with a handle comes with a door wedge to move the frame from the cars post so i can slide it in past the door jam rubber. .same concept. .to push the door lock button. .

some cars i can hit the lock/unlock buttons with ease, some i can pull the door handles to unlock and open the doors. .EX: Bmw's. .and say with my GF's subaru was a sinch to push the manual lock/unlock button. .on the Z it's easy to cause i've done it for someone's Z already. . once i get the rod in at it's angle the angle does the force for me. .all i do is put a little push into it. .
if you notice the hanger, other night i used it on this guys old rambler with that corner window that you can open like the old days. ..i sliped in the hanger and lifted the little lock pushed in the window and reached in. .bam!!!

i know how you feel, ive had two of my cars broken into...the second time, i actually CAUGHT the guy in my car stealing stuff....it was at that moment that I realized my muscle mass could increase 100%, I could turn green, and my clothes wouldn't fit me any longer. Then 10 minutes later, I felt good.

funny story
where i work we did an engine job to a civic about 5 years ago. .and we left it outside but the keys were in the ignition. .so at close up the boss tells us to go push it in when we see a head bobbing around inside. . since we were all in the shop we determined someone else was in the car, and sure enough some idiot guy saw the keys and was trying to start the car engine less. .long story short we beat the **** out of him and when it was time to call 911 he insisted we didn't so we got in a few more kicks and punches and he ran off..NEVER to be seen again!!!

I just got me another TomTom today it isn't much now so I feel good woot I think Im going to have the viper alarm installed tomorrow. Is it true that for the viper alarm to be installed on a Z that they would have to take the doors off? not the panels the doors! and bestbuy is charging me 90 to remove the doors is this necessary?

For that matter, don't leave any valuables to tempt thieves into breaking into your car.

A lady saw the guy being pushed to the ground and had a gun on his head....She ran to her house and called 911. The cops came right away maybe like 7-10 police cars. I didn't know what happened until 1030 in the morning. The lady had left me a note.

Note... there is no hood pin sensor on the Z... we had to add one... seriously.. I don't see one from the factory even though the service manuals hint at the wiring.

maybe they had access to locksmith tools. When i looked my keys in the car like a dumb *** I called a lock smith and he open it in like 2 mins. The alarm didnt even go off, so its pretty easy to get acess into a z
