he's got to be talking about a shim... one of those long skinny pieces of metal with a bit of a bent hook on the end. for sliding down along the window and popping the locks on a standard door. Works a hell of a lot better than an old coat hanger, that's for sure.

One time my friend locked his keys in his car down at the river. We had to make a hook out of some old wire and must have spent 20 minutes working on the door. Some park ranger drove right past us several times. You'd think that two young guys at the river shimming a car door would warrent a stop, if only to ask how it was going. Nothing. Tax dollars at work I guess.
