Forgot your Car Keys? Use a Tennis Ball Instead...

I'm not sure whether I believe my own eyes when I see THIS.
 
Saw that over on youtube too! I don't know? Haven't had a chance to try it, but I believe most locks are mechanically operated not vacuum!!! I think there is a reason they call the chick "blondie"!
 
My guess is pushing the tennis ball "as hard as you can" results in a dented, but still locked door. I'll stick with AAA, though I might carry a tennis ball around. Don't have a purse, so it'll have to go in the front pocket of my jeans. Could be an ice breaker on Friday night. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
 
I find that hard to believe. And I hope it isn't true. Thieves would have a field day.
 
I'm gonna try it tomorrow with the blow gun... same air pressure force (if not more).. no dent.. I have strong doubts. I really don't see how that will work.
