You use a gadget called a slim jim. Though usually you have a key. I helped my Dad repo a few cars a couple of decades ago. It is a major hoot. If I wasn't such an honest sumbich nobody's car would be safe.

They don't work on the newer cars going back at least 5 years.

One thing this article doesn't mention is the cost of buying a key for the repo man. You can get a key made if you know the VIN number (which the bank would know) but for you and I it would cost $100 because it has a computer in the key.

Any ticker symbols for the repo companies? Things are only going to get worse in this area.
