RE: [T3] easy way to break into my 71 Squareback

["Carver" <carver@ncwebsurfer.com>]

On another post someone mentioned a tool to unlatch the vent wing.
I was with a friend who had a '79 bus and locked her keys in.
She called a locksmith.  He broke two of those tools trying to
get in through the wings, gave up.  He was not able to pick the
door locks either due to the resistance of turning the cylinder.
And these were tools designed for the later twist know type
vent wing locks.

Moral of the story, and yes it applies to T3's, is that if you
have to have a lock picked, have the rear hatch picked as there
is no spring resistance to turning.  That's what I told him to
do, and he finally opened up the bus.
