I recently had my 2005 Accord towed. When I picked it up, I was surprised to find the car in neutral with the doors still locked. How'd they do that? If they forced the lock, wouldn't the alarm go off?

They probably unlocked the car, put it in neutral then locked the car from the inside.

 

How did they unlock the car?

 

they prob. has like a master lock for all Hondas or something. I mean, you gotta move it, you cant force your car into a spot. IDK

Dude, they are a towing company. They have **** to unlock your car.

 

1. Towing companies know how to unlock cars. It's part of their job, and it's not some amazing feat.

2. Yes, unlocking the doors without a key or remote will trigger the factory alarm. Once the doors are locked and closed, the alarm will stop going off after another minute or so.
