Correct.

It's shadow has all of the wings.

No...

It's awfully blurry, but it must be your back yard. Perhaps you sitting on
the veranda, sipping a beer.

:o) It takes longer to do the paper work. That I have to collect the
owner's driver's license number, street address, etc...then I have to
collect the plate and VIN numbers and have them sign it. If I spend 10
minutes on a call, I've been there too long.

 WD>  I've seen a demo which blew me away one day.

I blow people away all the time. Today was my day off, but I was closer to
an Emergency car door unlocking, so I offered to go. We don't get paid by
the customer if there's a child locked inside, so I did this one free
gratis. I was there in a matter of minutes, but had the door open within
the first 20 seconds after I arrived. I should have had it unlocked with
the first attempt, but I had taken a bend out of my tool, which had to be
put back in for this job. A 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, Crew Cab pickup.
There's only one pickup easier to open and that's made by Ford. The Dodge
pickups are all different, depending on the cab. Standard cabs are a piece
of cake, actually easier than the Ford. As the cab grows, so does the
degree of difficulty. Still an easy unlocking though. The most difficult
are the BMW models. If you don't have the key, any attempt to open it will
result in the door locking linkage disconnecting from the locks. No way to
open it after that. We usually advise the customer to call a BMW dealer.
Unless it's the roadster model, I turn them down when they come out.
