Insecure vehicles should be banned, not security tools like the Flipper Zero

This came in handy for me once when I locked myself out of a u-haul in what used to be a rough neighborhood in New York. I was standing there fishing with a coat hanger trying to figure it out when a gangster looking dude came up and was like "here, let me help you with that," and 3 seconds later had the door open.

Haha similar story. I used to deliver pizzas and worked with a pretty rough crowd. Once I locked my car while it was running and had a bunch of deliveries. One of the cooks unlocked it in about five seconds.

I have a similar story! Locked out of my car. Bikers park next to me.

"You locked out? Hang on a moment"

Goes into a Subway, comes back with a coat hanger.

Less than a minute later the car is unlocked.

"Wow you're pretty good at that"

"I literally just got out of prison today... for car theft."

Laughter all around

Who knew there were so many Good Samaritan car thieves out there, huh? I guess everyone enjoys a chance to show off their skill set a little!
