Part of me wants to go over there with the truck and the big ass logging chain I have and see which gives first. 1. The tires grip. 2. The weak “park” lock in the transmission. 3. What ever I attach the chain to. ---

I’ve tried that before anyways, it doesn’t work. And what’s the big deal that I slept in a little? I also spent some time trying to get a hold of him and someone he knew that might possibly have his brothers number before I posted this. This was my last ditch effort. ---

In all honesty, I was hoping someone here (like a tow-truck driver or theft-recovery mechanic) would know an easy way to unlock the steering wheel. I was pretty sure I heard the Ford Taurus was very easy to steal. ---

Do what we did to our principals car in high school. Get 4 wheel dollies, jack it up and put it on the dollies and get a few people to push it. 🙂 ---

make a slimjim, open said door… move/roll car to street problem solved edit: check his glove box too, a lot of Fords from that era came with a “spare” plastic key for emergency situations. Then take it to work for the rest of the week 😃 ---

the wheel will be locked, so can’t turn it… unless you have a big screw driver and hammer. ---
