Your right, their older vehicles with the vertical button locks are easy to
open. Their newer stuff is really hard, like I said the new Camery is
"ALMOST" impossible. Company's like Sully and Ramaco who make lockout kits,
designed new tools just to open these cars. The neatest one I saw was a Lexus
(Toyota product I think). If you unlock the car with anything other than a
key (say a lockout tool for example) the alarm will go off and the door will
relock itself within .4 seconds. You have to unlock the door and pull the
outer door handle in one motion. Very hard.

Subject: Re: Stolen Cars & Trucks
Funny, in high school we use to 'move' our friend's cars in the parking
lot (Toyota trucks). With older toyotas '82-86, you could get into them by
lifting the door handle and poking a pencil through the hold beneath the
handle (it would pop the button up). We didn't steal anything, just turn
on
the wipers, radio, etc... Or take 2 floor jacks and jack the car off the
ground,
then push it to the opposite end of the parking lot. More than once a
football
player was crying to the principle that his car was stolen... Only to find
that when he returned to the parking lot that his car was the only one in
the lot! :P Hey, I had 'FUN' in autoshop!!

BTW: True Story, It turns out that that 'Cunanan?' guy that killed
all of those people, then himself, he was in 8th grade at the same
school I went to when I was in 9th grade... WEIRD huh?
