  1. in the early to mid 1990's I worked at a local bookstore in New England

     

    the Operations Manager drove a Miata, street legal but modified for racing (roll cage, racing seats, suspension and engine mods etc)

     

    he left work one day but came right back in - he had locked his keys in his car, did anyone know a good locksmith?

     

    I volunteered my services

     

    I had developed a unique skill over the years for getting friends, co-workers and complete strangers back into their cars by removing the metal strip from hanging file folders and using it as a slimjim

     

    I grabbed my strip and headed outside - in less than 15 seconds I was in

     

    Now my typical unlock time back then was right around 5 minutes, so I was nobody's thief - in fact, with newer cars and less frequency of lockouts my time is about double that these days

     

    ^ to date that Miata remains the easiest car I've ever unlocked

     

     

     

    [side note: the only car I tried that I could not unlock was a 1982 Buick Skylark]
