BOOK REVIEW: A Repossessor’s Guide To Auto Locks

For GM, Ford, Chrysler. 1969 to present.

A sampler, if you will:

  • Why slim jims some times don’t work

  • The slide lock tool
  • The Curtis model 15 code cutter
  • Impressioning keys
  • Eyeballing Chrysler 5 tumbler door locks
  • Bunch of other stuff too.
  • </ul>

    Need I say more?

    P.S. such misspellings as appear above are taken verbatim from the book. I’m guessing MC was more interested in the hardware than the dictionary.
