lol I remember as a youngster nicking dozens and dozens of cars like that, you didnt need tools or anything, I actually got in to a fully locked metro and started it too whilst only using a stiff short stick from a tree!!!! Really all you needed for pretty much all of them was one of those old swis army knifes, the little nail file got in to anything so easily, with the little buttons we used to have, put in lock and turn hard and up comes that button, break steering lock, hand under dash rip plastic off to reveal ignition wires, grab um and pull and out came the little black box with a hole in it, put nail file into that hole and away you go lol Those were the days, altho i stopped anything like that when I reached around 16 and realised people work hard for what they have and no one has a right to touch thier stuff but really thinking about it, I just miss being a teenager as everything was better, getting old is not fun lol
