By 'e-book'... I assume you mean to violate the owner's copyright by not buying the real book. I won't help you with that.

However... as a book review:

There are 64 pages divided into four major chapters. The entire premise of this book is automotive locksmithing and includes 75 diagrams and charts that covers most aspects 'entry' in the field of automotive locksmithing.

Pin and wafer systems, sidebars, bypass entry (slim jims and other car opening tools), various tools to pull cylinders. The ford and chrysler pin numbering systems and locations of key codes are also covered. ...as are a few motorcycles.

What is missing... well... this book stops about 1979. So... any car newer than is not in the book. It is also strongly slanted towards the big four automakers (it refers to AMC as a seperate entity long since bought out by Chrysler).

Also missing... is the charts one expects as to push/pull points for slimjims. This book does NOT have those highly sought after charts.

This book was a MUST HAVE for the early 1980's... but today... the book (at about $15) cost more than the old cars it applies to.

Today... unless you have an affection for nostalgia. I recommend you pass on this book.

So what book would you suggest instead of Involuntary Reposession
or In the Steal of the Night ??

[illusion]

weren't these books suggested by some dodgy guide that told you how to break into cars??

It rings a bell, but I can't place where I saw that guide....

am I wrong?

If you are interested in how car door mechanisms work. I'd suggest you drop into an auto parts store and pick up a service manual.

If you are interested in general car opening techniques... well... that is sort of a restricted topic around here. I'd point you to the advanced forums for that. Read the post there on what it takes to get access.

If you are interested in car locks from the 1970's... I'd suggest the book you are interested in. The book does a very good job at explaining some of the techniques that are still in use today.

If you are interested in a career in auto repo... I'd suggest you seriously reconsider. Failing that... most repo shops are family businesses and frequently an off-shoot of a family owned towing business. After all, you need tow trucks, a secured lot, and some big friends, etc... to effectively repo a car, deal with irate owners, to hold it... and eventually turn it back over to the loan company.

I don't know about who might of suggested it... But he would be correct, the book is indeed pretty much a B&E guide for that era of cars.

...and that's about a close to a locked thread as we can get.
