I was at Atlanta raceway one weekend in the infield. The driver of a
new Camaro had locked his keys in the car. The guy was trying to
break the windshield with a large rock to get the keys. Lucky for him
the windshield wouldn't break. He went around to the driver side and
broke the drivers' window.

It worked fine on the old "knob" style doorlocks up until the early
seventies but does NOT work on today's "pick proof" tapered buttons as
shown on the website. Butcher cord has been used to steal a LOT of
cars over the years.
