Tricky little problem....or a challenge
Hello,
I have a little teaser that I am sure someone on this thread can solve.
Some horrid little toerag attempted to break into my SLK, despite making a lot of mess to the paintwork he did not manage to open the door - but did manage to completely destroy the lock.
I was away when this happened and I presume that the alarm was going mad. On returning home the battery is completely flat.
So here is the problem. I have the key but the door lock is destroyed, and the electronic opening does not have enough power to work.
How can I get into the car ? Is there any way I can charge the battery without opening the bonnet ? Can I open the bonnet without using the leaver inside the car ?
I really don't want to have to smash the window (and even then I am not sure which one to break)
Any help would be grateful appreciated !!!

A very very nice man
Called the AA, some young spotty kid came out who clearly used to break into cars.
There is a much easier way. He simply jacked the car up, applied the jump cables to the starter motor and open sesame.
Top effort from the AA.
