How secure are car locks, again?

Today I demonstrated Manful Skills™ in front of two Fair Damsels™, after mogwit locked her keys in her car. I used the power of the wire coathanger to fish around inside the door and disengage the locking mechanism, just like they do on TV. Took about two minutes flat. Mog and kdsorceress were gratifyingly impressed, and nobody had to call AAA.

Hoorah! A fruitful career of boosting cars lies ahead!
