Is it really that easy to hot wire a car?

Asked by syz (35943points) August 20th, 2009

I was watching a movie last night and the protagonist got into a car, yanked some wires from under the steering column without looking, touched two wires together, and the car started – 10 seconds, max. I’ve also seen movies where a knife rammed into the key slot of the starter makes them start. Do these things work? Is it really that easy?
