    Can Ford Cars (Edge) be hijacked without the key?

    Someone reported that a gang of hijackers went to a parking garage and demanded cars. Right off Lake Shore Drive. But they got scared away. Another person had their car hijacked while she was filling up at a gas station. They drove the car off while it was being fueled.
