Come on people! 
We have a fellow DeLorean-owner (he has 3(!)) with a problem:
Let's help him!!! Hey, you've never met me before;
how sure can you be that I actually have a DeLorean???
Let's not get paranoid... (nothing personal intended!)

If some one wants to get insode your car he or she will!
The info required for "breaking in" has been on the net for at least 
2 years now at <http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/trunkcable.html>
and I've never ever heard of anyone complaining about that!

This is a post I like! A solution is given AND a great tip:
JOIN A CLUB! Not only is it a lot of fun to have other people
with the same interest to talk to, they also can be of some great help!
I joined the DeLorean Club Netherlands over a year before I bought my "D".
They were really helpfull and gave me a lot of info.

I've only been reading the DML for about 1,5 to 2 years, and I have seen this 
thread come up several times. It was reason for me to put a spare-cable on as
one of my first little projects. It's come up this last week:
READ THE BACK ISSUES; It's in there too!!! (several times)

The Backissues have saved me from asking "stupid" questions several times;
that's what they're there for!
