Not a very bright burglar. I’ve seen it done with only one coat hanger

All that you need is a screwdriver–stick it between window and frame and twist—-My brothers system got stolen that way, twice. But ya nightmare, 1 coat hanger is really all it takes provided it’s long enough.

Looks to me like he brought a few too many tools. All you really need is a 10″ crescent wrench. One swing and the window’s open.

Well Mike, breaking glass causes alarm when heard by people. I suggest the steathy approach, which seems to be what MacGyver was trying to achieve.
Screwdriver between window and frame to provide ample room for the 2 coathangers twisted together to slip thru the window and pop the lock or pull the handle—
I know this because I have but one set of keys to my GT
