Pretty much all of the ignitions in our 60 series are old and worn so it doesn't take much to get something to work. When @Paul DiNapoli got his cruiser back there was a key that was filed down. Possibly one for the doors and then anther for the ignition. A little wiggling and bam they are in...
So glad this ended well!!
Did they use a ghost key to get in and start it? We have seen that a lot down here. Also have heard reports they use cruisers as tow rigs. Not the brightest group here.
