If this is a method of bypassing locking systems on some cars then it is not very sensible to discuss it on a public forum.

Hence pm reply was required and no details were public

You mentioned, twice, a possible method for opening a car by a process of shorting out wires. I think that constitutes placing information in a public forum.

I don't think "shorting out wires" is very specific... There's not many people about to go on a crime spree with that information... Really?

Did I or anyone use the words "crime spree" ?

As for specifics, tail lights and fog lights were mentioned and whilst hardly a criminals guide to disabling alarms etc any information that may help or provide food for thought for car thieves is surely best kept off a public forum?

....

As we are discussing criminal methods for resolving your son's problem, can you confirm whether your son broke into his own house at night, whilst his family was asleep upstairs, to obtain the spare key?

Or perhaps he used a fishing rod inserted through his letter box to hook the spare key off the hall table where he had left it?

It may have been easiest to wait for his wife to go shopping in the car (using the spare key) and then he could have jumped into the passenger seat when she came to a halt at the first set of traffic lights and forced her out of the car.

There are endless ways of criminally gaining access to your car if you are still in possession of the spare key.

I saw Steven Seagal do that in a film the other day

No, but you're saying that the discussion of breaking into cars shouldn't be discussed. And I agree with that in principle. However stating such basic actions hardly constitute a thiefs guide to TWOC, does it?

Am I allowed to say "break a window", or will that give theives ideas too?

Lets get a sense of proportion shall we.

I am not saying that braking in to cars should not be discussed, my point, as you seem to agree is not to give out any information a thief may be able to make use of.

Your last line sums it up!

The OPERATIVE word being Possibility Not Fact no exact method put in public domain just assumptions
'Don't you think the TWOKER would not already know the methods to gain entry already"

replies like this give negative impressions of members , to me posting such responses!

It was so fun reading all the posts in this thread.

I wonder how many of you wrote a letter to TopGear directors after they did an episode with a Nova?

I really don't think someone would read a "how to get into a locked car" post and decide to dash off on a new hobby!!

As I recall there are any number of ways that have been talked about in pubs, internet and so on for years.
