If you are a car theft thief, don’t look at this.
Contrary to popular belief tow-truck drivers can do more than pull your car out of an emergency. They can change your tire or bring you gas. ViralHog’s latest video shows how a veteran unlocked a Hyundai Elantra in just seconds, without having to use the key.
Modern vehicles are extremely secure. However, it would be remiss to not mention the old days. The days of Hollywood car theft are gone. Any car with a coat hanger or bump start could be taken. This is a double-edged blade if you forget to lock your keys in the car.
The tow truck driver displayed a masterful display of automotive magic when he inserted an airbag into the driver’s side window gap and inflated it to make a larger opening. After that, he just had to place a poker on the locking pin. The car alarm was activated briefly before the owner pulled out his key.
It is possible for automakers to allow you to unlock your car with your smartphone in an emergency, aside from the inconvenience of locking yourself out. Although it raises safety concerns, this could be the end of an awkward car experience.
This is a rough guideline, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t trust the tow-truck driver’s mechanical skills. Are you a victim of car lockouts? Please share your story below.
