    Default Schematic

    It would be easy to do if you have a schematic of the wiring of the car. There probably is a way to fool the anti-theft devices too.

    I googled this:

    http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Hot_Wire_Your_Car


    you can find more if you use a search engine...

    I happen to know where I can get lock smith books for most every vehicle made since like 1979. Each vehicle has a diagram showing where the lock bars are and which tool to use. Sure would be a lot to lug around though!

    Hypothetically a slide hammer may assist in removal of the lock unit from a steering column.
    Again this is info that's available online for anyone to access.

    I am pretty sure everyone knows where dealerships keep their keys. They make it too easy, no need to hot wire anymore.

    on newer cars getting into a car and getting the ignition to turn are the easy parts. getting the computer to agree is a whole other problem.

    This applies to cars with keys that are chipped. So anything older than 05ish is an easy unit to drive away in, IF needed in an emergency and you or your neighbor had misplaced their keys.
