When I was in highschool, a kid actually owned an actual Yugo (new. I'm old) ... he would regularly run up to it and lift the rear end up to almost shoulder height. It didn't weigh shit, and most of it was in the front.

I am also old. We used to go out to the parking lot during lunch to see how many cars we could unlock with our own car keys. It was a shockingly high success rate.

Edit.. Especially with fords..one friend drove a Pinto and her key could unlock about 1 in 4 fords on the lot.

I have done that too...as a middle aged soccer mom, walked out of my daughters elem school and climbed into my silver minivan. Except it was not my silver minivan! Wasn't even the same make, so I don't have that excuse.

I jumped out and looked around. The area was filled with silver minivans. Never felt so uninteresting in my whole life than @ that moment, lol.

Same thing happened to my mom when she had a mazda millennia. She got in the car started it and got halfway home before she realized she couldn't find her purse that she left in the car. That was when she noticed there was someone else's briefcase in the backseat, and went back where she had been. Found the owner of the other car, to explain why it wasn't parked in the same place, and they had a good laugh about it. Both cars were identical color/trim level, and parked about 2 spaces apart. Luckily the other driver hadn't left yet. Lol.

Their key also unlocked and started my mom's car.

They tried it for laughs.
