Does anyone here know how to hotwire a car ( I'm half serious ! )

My stolen car was found.
The steering column is destroyed.
I could connect random wires together to try and start it, but I'm afraid of accidently firing off the airbag.

It looks like the kids that stole it had a miserable time with the car and abandoned it.

They tried to rip off the kammback / box cavity, but I built it to withstand really strong winds.
It looks like they bashed it loose with a hammer, and in the process smashed some of the roof and side if the car.
What was left was dangling, and it looks like they used some yarn i had in the car for a tuft test to hold it up.
There is yarn tied to the side of the car too, and attached to the door. I wonder what they were doing !

It cost me $ 450 to get my car out of police impound and have it towed back.
The police never contacted me to tell me the car was going to be taken to the impound. Every day adds another $20 to the initial $277 fee.
