No more than a minute. Thieves also use tow trucks and car trailors to bring to a chop shop and then deal with getting in or get in quick and unlock the e-brake and put into neutral, then tow. It wouldn't be hard to hotwire/ start the car without a key if you know what you are doing. The whole process can take up to 5 minutes or less if you have done it to the same model car before also. Hope it was towed, good luck I hate to hear these stories, but being that I unlock peoples cars all the time, incudling customers, family members, my girl and myself, lol. Hope it turns up complete.

I said it took me not even a minute to figure it out, I'm a noob with using them... Now I can get my car unlocked with a slimjim in a matter of 2-3 seconds...

It is easy to break into these cars, I recently had to do it myself after being stupid one day and locking it with key in the ignition...

YES I just joined the forum to say my car was stolen, what's it to ya bub? Any way I can say "hey look out for it" is gonna make me feel better.

As for who said "I would have stolen it if I knew it had 86K on it", har dee har. I hope you're joking.
At least the majority of people here aren't like that.

No, the keys weren't in it and no there wasn't any glass on the pavement. This shit was surgical the way they took it. I'm almost willing to bet that someone was waiting on me the moment I parked it. I'd been thinking for weeks about how I should have removed the SE-R label from the back of this thing.

I just don't like slim jims, if something in the door is messed up you can have a hard time. I have used them and on older cars they are easy, sometimes you end up fighting it and something brakes or is stuck. I used to have no other choice. I know we are talking about a se-r here but I can get into every car with this.... Try that with something newer or old and worn out. You have your way, this is the way every tow truck driver does it now and most techs besides the old school guys

Both of my rides are debadged for this very reason. Not too many people know about these cars and the ones that might probably think it's just a 1.6L Sentra. May not help much but every little bit helps. Hope you find your baby, this is as personal as it gets when your car gets stolen.

No news is good news? Hardly...

Someone thought they saw it near Silver Spring MD the other day, said it had the same little dent in the edge of the hood just like mine.
