Commonly used tools

 * Slide hammer puller to break into the door locks and the cylinder lock.
 * Multimeters or a test light to find a power source
 * Spare wires and/or a screwdriver to connect the power source to the ignition and starter wires
 * A generic rod and hook toolkit to slip between the car window and car frame and to open the lock behind the window. A common one is called the "Slim Jim".
 * Many keyless ignition/lock cars have weak or no cryptographic protection of the unlock signal. Proof-of-concept "thefts" of top-of-the-line luxury cars have been demonstrated by academic researchers using commercially available tools such as RFID microreaders, but is unknown whether the attack has been used for actual theft.
 * A firearm or other weapon such as a baseball bat, or a utility knife or a box cutter to break open a window or threaten a passenger if inside the car
