The hook is a LOT cheaper, plus you don't need another Porsche key to depress that remaing pin and rotate the tumbler/cylinder.

Bob it doesn't have to be a Porsche key a regular small key works way better than a Porsche key you want small so you can move the tumbler I usually leave the last one closest to the outside so its easy to get to.. That way you don't have to hide anything under the car, someone always has car keys from another car around.
Sometimes I just take all the tumblers out and then it doesn't matter any key fits but only I know what lock on what car...

I typically only lock my car if there is something more valuable than the cost of replacing the window left visible in the car while it is parked.

For sale at the Techno Classica in Essen (Germany). A set of hooks and stuff that will open almost any car door!

Errr... Just get another key cut so you are ready...

Having just 1 key is really asking for trouble, but when you have 2 (3?) you will never need the other one(s)

In this neighborhood, possession of a kit like that in the car is a crime. Plus, while handy to help another car owner, having one in my car does me no good.

I added an alarm and remote door lock system to a previous car. Added microphones to the door jambs to listen for tools and the lock cycling while armed. When it hears something it doesn't like, it makes noises while it re-locks the doors. Wonder if the 928 does the same. I know it sounds the alarm horn if opened from the inside after being 'armed' by locking with the key.

When I am on the road, I carry two keyrings, plus another key tied inside my boot. While I do occasionally lock the door with one set in the ignition, I've never had to pull the one out of my boot. Having it in there is a pretty good guarantee that I'll never need it.

Love's truck stops sell them. About $15.

And yes, technically, they are considered "Burglary Tools."
