Well THAT makes me feel secure... not!



I'm hoping that this is a hoax. Somebody could be standing off-camera and pushing the unlock button on a key fob.

AHA! Just as I thought! Well... suspected, anyway.

Mythbusters couldn't duplicate the trick. They only tried it on one car though.

Snopes' forum folks said it didn't work on their Altima. http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=2694

Autoblog tried it on 4 cars and it didn't work for them either. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/12/can-you-really-open-a-locked-door-with-a-tennis-ball/
