How to Break Into Cars

by Xavier Fay

This file is a compilation of methods I have seen and heard of being used and also methods I have read about over the net. I am conveying information that I have collected through different sources. It is your problem, not mine, if you are stupid enough to use/get caught using this information.

Ok the first thing I am going to tell you is my philosophy, ignore this part if you don't care. Ok, I believe in anarchy and for me stealing cars is a way at getting back at society for all the shit it puts on us kids. I mean by 2020 we'll probably be put on a database, and our movements will be monitored, we wont be free, even now we are not free. I steal cars to repay the insurance company's and governments that enslave us, every car costs them money, and every cent takes them one step back from implementing these databases and monitoring systems. I also believe in being who you want to be, so if your reading this just to show off to your mates, then I spit on you, but I will not deny you this information, that is your prerogative. I just want to inform you that you are enslaving yourself, always trying to be better than your friends, not doing the things you want to do. Anyway that's enough of me, on to the good stuff.

First pick a car, this is simple, use common sense, looking at the car can tell you many things about it and the owner, first and foremost if you look in the window. You can check things like whether it is an automatic (very important, I can't drive manuals, so I always take automatics, unless I bring a friend(very helpful, a friend can be a lookout, a cover and an alibi all in one) who can drive manuals). If you can drive manuals, take them, because they're less likely to have an alarm. You can also check whether a car has an alarm by checking whether it has a flashing light on or near the dash, if it does have a flashing light, forget it. Alarms are too hard to bypass, and even if the car's a Ferrari, its not worth the chance of some beefy bloke running over and smashing your face in (I'm not a pussy, I'm just smart). Although I will inform you that there are some interesting devices hanging around the market, that can quickly scan through the codes it has in its database for the model of alarm you have chosen. Of course you need to know the type of alarm first, but this device can sometimes disable the alarm and even open the car in less than five minutes. You can check the type of person the car belongs to by looking at the seat, if the seat is pulled back and has a big indent where the person sits its either a fat bitches car or a big beefy blokes car. Use your common sense, like I said, and you'll be fine.

Second get in the car. This can be done a number of ways, if you don't intend to sell the car just hammer a large FLATHEAD screwdriver in the keyhole and turn HARD (this SHOULD break the pins and allow you to turn the chamber which opens the car). I don't believe this method would work with newer model cars though as they're electronic (then again I know jack shit about how cars work). You can also use a lock-out tool kit, or a Slim-Jim. Slim-Jim's are easy to use, lubricate them with Vaseline or hand crème and insert them into the weather stripping, then push and pull up, or pull and pull up. With a Slim-Jim it helps to have a lever like a piece of dowel when you have to push (try pushing and pulling because different manufacturers put their mechanisms in different places. Another way is to take a screwdriver to the quarter-glass, just put it inside the weather stripping and lever it to the side, this will either pop the window out or smash it, again its helpful to have a bit of dowel to lever on. You don't have to be Einstein to realize that removing the quarter-glass will allow you to unlock the door and in turn unlock the front door. Another way I've heard of but never discovered if it works or not is getting a spark plug and breaking the ceramics off, get a small piece of this (about the size of a pea) the throw it at a window, apparently it literally EXPLODES the window. The file I read this in said it is because the two components are oppositely charged. Again I do not know whether this works or not but I guess its worth a try. Ok I've covered Slim-Jims, forcing the lock, breaking in and miscellaneous shit. I don't think there's anything else so I'll go on to raiding.

Third in respective order is raiding, you'll want to check the glove compartment, the dash, the radio, center console, and under the seats, oh yeah, also the boot, once your in the car just pop the boot and have a look. Check quickly if you dont have much time, (or if youre stupid enough to do it during the day), wear gloves and dont accidentally honk the horn (I know someone who has been caught because of the horn).

Fourth, Start the car. For old cars look under the dash or cut into it, and near the ignition find two red wires, cut them, splice them and cross them ( a good idea is to wear gloves as you can get zapped). However this only works for old cars, newer cars have a lock mechanism that doesnt let you turn the wheel too far without the ignition switched, there's a drill bit you can get for about $150 but I have no idea where to get it from (probably Auto Collectors). If you picked an early model Holden, your in luck, these have a little wing kind of thing around the ignition, to start these all you need to do is get a shifter and shift the switch towards the dash, this starts the car. Also you can use the first method described to open the door, to turn the ignition. There are other ways like buying manufacturers keys, which are masters for a certain make and model of car, these can be purchased for about $150 upwards. Or you could use a Slide Hammer. I know this works but I cant describe it, because Ive never used one. From what I know screw the hammer into the ignition and pop it out with the slide hammer, then stick a screwdriver in there and turn the little brass triangle and it will start the car. Another way is to pop the ignition keyhole off by using a screwdriver and prying between the plastic and the metal, then stick your screwdriver in and turn. But the way i do it is I get a scrap piece of metal thin and strong enough to fit in the keyhole and stick it in bend it down and turn hard. Also a device called The Club may be installed on your target vehicle (Warning: I have never heard of this method before but I believe it may work, although it is definitely dangerous). A solution I have heard of is to buy a flask of Liquid Nitrogen and pour it onto The Club (making sure not to spill it on yourself) then hit The Club with a very heavy object (like your shifter). This should snap it in half. That is all I have on starting the car so I will go on to conversions and selling.

Fifth, conversions and selling, if you forced entry into the car by means of a screwdriver or other similar device buy a new set of locks for your new car. While you are at it re-spray it, and change the plates and VINs. I am sorry but I know nothing about VINs so I cannot give you any Info. Apart from that they are numbers hidden around the car: in places such as the bottom of the ashtray, under the hood, under the trunk lid, in one or more door panels, or underneath the dash. Ok to convert the car, go to the wreckers and get VINs for a car of the EXACT make/model car, after you have bought the wreak, collect all the VINs and swap them with the ones on the stolen car. Just rivet them on and hopefully no one will notice (most manufacturers use special rivets). Sell the car to someone you know, or just put an ad in the paper, but sell it unregistered, use a fake name and deliver the car, and have them inspect it on neutral territory. Another idea is to sell the parts to wreckers, sell it to about four different wreckers (obviously you'd need to take the car apart and divide it into four different groups (Its not hard to take a car apart, all you need is a toolkit and some brains)). Yet another idea is to sell the car to Auto Exporters, the VINS and ENGINE NUMBERS are not communicated to other countries (as far as I know).

Also Ive decided to put a Tidbit about clothing. One, if your going during the day wear NORMAL clothes, not what you normally wear, what everyone else wears. Remain as inconspicuous as possible right up to the actual break in (if you've got brains it'll look like its your car, or that you've locked your keys inside), if there's a bench sit on it till you've cased the joint out. Two, if your going at night, DON'T wear black, it gives you an outline, wear camouflage or olive drab, they don't give you an outline, but there is one problem, if your noticed, the cops are probably gonna be called. And if they see you theyll almost definitely pick you up, but remember they cant search you unless they have probable cause, so dont be a smart ass.

That's all, remember that life is what you make it, Im supplying this information on the principal of freedom of information, I do not except responsibility for the actions of the end user. This information will not make you a hardened Auto Thief over night, it takes experience and a reason for what you are doing. I personally believe in Anarchy and the ability to be whatever and whoever you want, if you want to be a car thief, its your prerogative. I am in no way trying to influence your mind, as I said, I believe you should be whatever or whoever you want to be, if that means breaking the RULE'S and LAWS society trys to influence us with, than so be it. I have but one last sentence to communicate to you: Conduct your life without regrets, only then will you know true wealth.
