Things are bad enough out there. Youtube allowing criminal act videos to be shown to millions is just plan stupid and should be banned. All I can say is nice car color and jabbing the key hole was slightly interesting.

Meh. Basic lock picking. Similar to bump lock. Pressure is placed on the cylinder and the tumblers are flung into place - they remain there due to the tension.

Not with my pre-LCI. I've tested my alarm a couple of times (lock the car and sit still for 40 seconds, then move). All compartments are accesible (except for the trunk, which is obviously locked already and i don't have a trunk release button in the drivers foot-well).
So, no locking by the alarm.
