Exclamation Lock your keys in?

Yeah, my wife calls the other day from 30 miles away and told me she locked her keys in the 2000 Ranger. She didn't want to call a locksmith and I was at work so she calls my son. He does some research on the net before heading off to help and finds this gem.

This video usually gets taken down from RBV forums, they don't like spreading this info all over the place

Most guys have been welding plates in their doors to prevent this from working

After doing that, I don't keep anything in my truck worth stealing... I have the PATS so I'm not really not worried about anyone stealing the truck lol... It would be nice to find a way to block this that doesn't involve welding, though...

Thank you for posting this. Dont want the criminals to have this info, but its better to know and be able to do something about it too.
