Many cars use loose tolerance wafer locks[1] which are vulnerable to "raking". Picking a lock involves setting each tumbler individually by feel, and requires significant skill. Raking, on the other hand, is basically just rapidly jiggling a bumpy stick in the lock until all the tumblers bounce around enough to get caught on the edge of the cylinder and the lock opens. It's fairly low-skill, and can be quick enough that it looks almost like using a key[2]. (picking for comparison [3])
