found out some guy in that area has some sort of a scanner that can read codes. he simply copied the code and opened the door.

police said he was probably standing outside somewhere having a smoke and was waiting . it had happened a few times over the last 2 months.

my friend was stuck here for weeks as he needed to get the embassy involved due to no passport. it was a huge big pain in the ass

which neighborhood?

wow, that's crazy.. these guys must really know what they're doing if they were able to get in and out that quick and make it untraceable.

lesson: canada is very dangerous and full of crafty french thieves. don't trust canadians. the smile and fargo accent is just a facade to be rape and pillaged.

This wont work in a BMW. Neither my E92 nor X3 would lock the drivers door when the door is ajar.

But i learned to leave no valuables in my cars.

I had an underground parking garage at my old apartment complex. One day I get into my shitty old Jetta and realize that the faceplate from the stereo is missing, but nothing else looks suspicious. I did take the faceplate off from time to time, but I could swear that I did not remove it the night before. Went back upstairs. Looked everywhere but could not find it. Looked all over the car. Not there. So i drove to work all puzzled. Half way to the office I realized that there are a bunch of palm prints on my passenger window. Motherfuckers pushed the window down, reached in, stole the faceplate and pushed the window back up.

Apparently doors and windows on VW's are operated by an air pump located in the trunk, so they are really easy to open with your bare hands.
