Unlock Car with Tennis Ball

I can’t believe this works… has anyone tried this? Seems so insecure. Maybe it’s just a fake video, and they’re actually using the keyless remote to unlock the door, but I pulled this guy’s anecdotal evidence out of the Digg comments.

    Wild. I gotta try it. Too bad I’m in the city and carless. I don’t think it’s a good idea to experiment with this on other people’s cars ;)

    I suspected that some locks would be more difficult than others so I procured a variety of different sized hollow balls. All the vechicles on the lot where I put the theory to work yielded to my efforts. I had to hit a basketball with a sledge hammer on a Hummer. A Jetta opened with a ping pong ball.

    I used a golf ball with a slice. It looked as if it was smiling. It did not work at first. So I took it to the driving range,
    hooked the ball , broke my window and unlocked my car
