Look at the dent just below the keyhole (at about 60 sec in). It looks like somebody (certainly not Blondie) pushed REALLY hard on that tennis ball. I think a locksmith might be cheaper than a body shop.

first of all, that car DOES NOT have a electronic locking system.
Second of all, if that works, then it means anyone can jack up any car

That video is useless

I highly doubt that would work, just forcing air into it? and if you can carry around a damn tennis ball like that why not just carry a spare key.

Yeah it does - it has a key remote. It looks like a Renault Clio. That trick with the tennis ball works on some older models. So does nudging them from the rear and getting the central locking to think there has been a collision and unlocking automatically.

I've seen a few cars around here "unlocked" with half a brick so a tennis ball is not beyond the bounds of possibilities.
