What exactly is a quot;Jumping Wirequot;? What are the most common methods of motor vehicle theft? Is there any other option that stealing the keys or hot-wiring it?
I'm pretty sure teaching you to steal cars is a crime itself.
And add a former police officer to her list: Don't listen to Angelica, she is a cop, a vet, a former criminal, a doctor, she works at a salon (where she got best answer, scary) AP world history teacher, AP High School teacher health major, AP economics and history teacher, she has MD in world history, she works at Nordstroms, she works in human resources, and her most offensive answer, she was a preacher. She also works at Verizon.
Hot-wiring an Jumping Wire are the same things. It is a criminal's way to drive a car without a key. But, this method only works on older cars. Newer cars have automatic ignition on their keys or a simple button to start the car. As long as the car you want has a keyhole, then hotwiring will work. Basically, a person must have a very long, copper wire. When the copper wire is inserted, it touches the ignition wire that lies in the inside of the key hole. When wires in the key hole touch the copper, it mimics how a key would turn in the ignition. So the car starts! Look it up on wikipedia, sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
Until car makers started having transponder keys in the late 90's you could pull the ignition switch ion most cars with a dent pulled. Then a simple screwdriver turning a small switch inside the steering column started the car. Hot wiring, like you see in movies and n TV shows, has not been able to be used since the early 90's on any car made in a first world country. In hot wiring you find the ignition wires, cut them from the ignition switch or block and then touch them together to activate the starter motor. One step they leave out on TV is that you have to already have another set of wires hooked up or jumped with another wire to keep the car going when the starter is done.
GO straight to jail do not pass go and do not collect $200!
