Picking 1st gen locks , it was that figin easy.... WARNING....
Well I was working on the 323 today trying to get the fender straightened out and I had to put the key in the ignition to turn the stearing wheel. So anyway once I am done , I get out lock the doors , go upstairs and empty my pockets... out goes house keys, out goes protege keys... wait where's the 323 keys.. ohhh shit you can't be serious....
Anyway I get downstairs and there they are. so, I am looking and thinking how the hell am I gonna get these keys.. Can't bust the glass, cause that's another 45 bucks ... so I get a hanger and bend it , insert it in the door , turn it towards the lock knob and jab up at it ... sure enough bloom it flies up and the door opens .. I mean shoot is it that easy to get into a 323 or protege 1st gen ... guys beware .. Bruce |
my 3RD GEN was unlocked in 5 seconds by a locksmith :eek:
NEVER put anything extremely valuable in your car!!! |
Now you see why I hate thieves who smash glass, or in the case of my camry, drill the locks, and they didn't even get in! dumbfucks. I can get into your car in about 5 seconds... some cars might be harder though... My mom's volvo was... but yeah I figured this all out when I locked my keys in once :D
|
yea i was at my local mazda deller, he picked my locks in a matter of seconds, he did it so fast i thought maybe he had an extra keep.
|
I picked the locks on my friend's pontiac lemans one time, that worked out pretty well. Never tried it on my 323 or protege, never hope to!
|
i have 6 spare keys in house because my mom locks it pretty often. once she locked in the town, called a taxi driver for help, 4 taxi drivers and one mechanic didnt succed in gettin in my 1st gen pro so i had to take a hike from school (which didnt bother :D ) to the house to pick up the key and to the town to unlock it.

what's the sense of spare keys, Just have a hanger straped in a plastic bag under the car somewhere , lol ....
But seriously , I had locked my keys in my protege one time and when the tow guy came to try and open my door , he had a slim jim thingy and he was like how it may not work due to the car being a 95+ car and what not.... Well he tried to get it to work and it did not work ... He had to pry my A-pillar open and then open it from there.:rolleyes: I was just surprised, yet happy how easy it was .. Ofcourse the 323 does not have an alarm , and maybe won't even get one ,, sike; it will. Bruce |
Yeah they're pretty easy to pick... I got all my shit stollen a month ago, took the guy a couple of seconds and he had all my cds and my garantied to life jacket and ran away with his car :mad: I went to the cops, cuz I had the plate number but they did nothing... I also found out where the guy lived so I should of dropped by for a little visite whe I had the chance cuz now its too late, he probably sold all my stuuf a long time ago...

you have no idea how many times i've used this trick.. mostly because sometimes i'm stupid. to this date, i've locked my keys in my car 6 times... never needed a locksmith, spare key... or anything besides a coat hanger :)
peace |
i have 2 brothers with volkswagons and their car keys both open my doors. sometimes first try, sometimes after a few wiggles. my door locks are horrible.
|
Damn , I was really wondering if a lot of 1st gen guys had this problem,, I think the 2nd gens use a different style to pop up the door lock , so it would be a bit harder to get in them ..
|
Yeah I learned this when I locked my keys in my car...twice.
Bruce...with your alarm, make sure you get an external power device for it. I don't know about 2nd gens, but I can get under the hood and pull the battery cable on a 1st gen if you give me a screwdrive and a few seconds. So in combination with the slim-jim problem...proteges are a 2 minute theft job. |
woooo damn ..
you know I was looking at a cars most stolen list, somewhere.. I forgot where and the camry had like the first 3 spots and the 00+civic si was 4th .... Imagine how easy those cars are to get Bruce |
