Hi guys,

on Friday night I was unlucky enough to have my 240 sedan keys locked inside the car (I have no spare). Trying to push any window down - no movement. Call to a service that solves such problems - a mechanic comes in 20 minutes. The guy takes some sort of swiss army knife out of his pocket, chooses a thin metal pick and inserts it in the driver's door keyhole. One single second of rattling it up and down and he was able to rotate the lock cylinder. The door is open, no damage to the lock at all. I'm shocked. Not because I was charged the same amount of money that other mechanic would get for about two hours of labor, but because I saw my Brick being "cracked" in two seconds without any special tools.

Is it time to write a sticker "Please do not break windows to steal my CD stereo, you can open the door with a hair pin"? What do you think about security of our Volvo 240 locks?
