Quite possibly.

But if you're that paranoid over a diagram that anyone & his brother can easily obtain from any number of service manuals easily available over the web as well as through retail, I would submit that you have a few issues to deal with yourself!

BTW, how do you spot a car thief hard up enough to have to haunt the forums to figure out how to steal a car?

There's nothing special about breaking into a rodeo. I was able to use a slim jim my first time without anyone showing me (just did what I saw in the movies). If they cant figure out how to use one they'll just break out the window.

I usually put a hide-a-key somewhere on my vehicles just to be sure. But I think the one I had on my rodeo fell off on a trail somewhere. I need to find a better place to put one.

I recently locked my keys in my Rodeo and there was absolutley NO WAY I was going to shell out my hard earned cash for a lock-smith, and I know the local PD wouldn't do it since I have power door-locks. A coat hanger was the way to go, so if you're scratching your paint, you probably aren't holding your mouth right as there is a trick to it , but yes, just slide it in and pull
