The central locking of many UK cars is pneumatic. If you put half a squash ball over the keyhole and push it firmly, you used to be able to release all the locks. I think the manufacturers have fixed this now.
He doubtless kept one handy because, well, it was a handy trick.
Yes,
Yes. Every car that I have owned that had central locking would unlock the doors (*) using either the remote or the key in one of the front doors. I've not owned a car that has keyless ignition, but I *think* those usually still have a keyhole in the driver's door, even if it's concealed behind trim; you may also need an alternative key that has a key blade, as opposed to the normal day-to-day one which has just the electronics.
(*) Either it unlocks all the doors, or else the driver's door only with a second turn being needed to unlock the rest of the doors and the boot - depends how the central locking is configured in the car's config menus.

Was it open at the time?
Really, a dead badger eh, I don't think throwing a care through we buy any car. coms window would end well. As far as I'm aware they are still advertising so must exist. The problems with mainly online and telephone based outfits is trying to find a 'responsible' person when things do not run smoothly. Brian
It was obviously the wrong sort of Badger, ie, He said we must badger them, but he took it literally. Brian
Apparently Badgers are a protected species by law....
As an aside were you trying to badger someone literally?
Nothing says you cannot use road kill.
It was his Mum's ex that was stalking her.
Certainly was here. Also, all my vehicles will open or lock all the doors on the key, including the three with remotes.
Indeed. A mate of mine used to collect badgers and other road kill to feed his ferrets.

I love the dead badger idea. Did it achieve the desired result?

As he his now blind he could just stay at home and say that he did not see anything.
Be warned, it'll be rough.
Stalked by a YouTube barrister?
