So, they remembered the tape but forgot their keys?

Well I will have to put this in the interesting things to remember folder.

Now I don't feel safe.

It's a fake video. You can see that the power window is being actuated by someone over in the driver seat, as the actor does not have the right mechanical movement to make it look like he's over driving what is a gear driven mechanism. There's no way he can overpower that. If this were a real emergency, he would break the rear window out to prevent glass shards from spraying the infant.

Metric -
You just made me feel safer.

That looks suspiciously like the same car, the same baby, the same car seat and possibly the same garage as the first video.
When car windows had mechanical lever regulators most of the powered ones had motors with a worm gear which are very hard to drive from the output shaft.
The last window I looked at had a plastic track with gear teeth. It was the rack of a rack and pinion drive system. I haven't had a drive motor/gearbox apart in years so don't know if they still use a worm drive or not.
Something about this "technique" just doesn't seem right...

The plunger meme also comes in a door lock version. It only has to "work" on one car to gain traction on the net.

I think you are right. Same security camera and electrical box in the top left corner in both videos. Looks like same car, except in "cop" video, they taped over the key lock on the door handle, but looks like same mirror. Dang, I starting to think that some of this internet stuff may be fake.

Oh, surely not

I like that the "officer" had his bullet proof vest as he was rescuing the baby in distress!!!! I give the second video credit for the actor at least adding some humor to the gag.

Oh brother, push the pins of a cylinder lock up and align them perfectly with a plunger that isn't even seated tightly against the lock. But it works only if the plunger is full of hot air from burning lighter fluid. Then after the pins are all in place after at least 10 pushes, the cylinder will turn all by itself to unlock the door.
All those wasted years in the tow truck using coat hangers, slim-jims and lock picks. What a shame we didn't have youtube back then....
Where is Jeanie or Samantha when you need them. :lol:
