And if the keys aren’t there you just hot-wire it. It’s really easy. I’ve seen them do it on TV. You just reach under the dash by the steering wheel until you feel a couple wires. Yank on them real hard and you’ll end up with exactly two wire ends with the insulation off on each of them. Touch them together and they’ll spark twice then immediately start the car.
On the original Mission: Impossible, they could knock someone out with a drug and know almost to the second how long he’d be out. In the meantime, they’d get on with their business (planting bugs, photographing documents, recovering stolen plutonium) and exit the scene just before the bad guy came out of it.
Hey, it was a hunch! Had to be, had to be! 
Grrr!
Actually, I have a friend who does. He has a whole bunch of very old but still driveable cars which he insures for a pittance (anything over twenty years old has a “collectible” rate, or something like that) for people to borrow. On those cars, he’ll frequently leave the keys under the sun visor and tell the friend requesting a car, “Take the Toyota, keys are under the visor.” Mind you, he doesn’t do this with the cars he uses for his personal/family use.
Also, this has been pretty much SOP with a number of mechanics I’ve used when they expect us to pick up your car after they have fixed it.
I had a great-uncle who virtually always had a 2- or 3-day growth of stubble. He never grew a beard, but I may have twice in 20 years seen him actually clean-shaven.
Five minutes of practice at something that you have never tried before makes you able to win a contest.
How? There is only one gun of each caliber in all of Hawaii?
People that guess the correct password in a minute.
And it’s always something that makes sense, like a name or number sequence.
It’s never complex like: P+99X44?
“Wait, wasn’t his daughter’s dog named Fluffy? Try that!!!”
“It worked!!”
Big one is hacking. Apparently it only takes 5 seconds of random keyboarding to break into any computer and maybe another 10 seconds to gain access to top secret spy satellites. Also nobody ever chooses a password longer than six letters using a word found in the dictionary.
Very possible. Lots of trained people can do it.
And the clever 30 second closing statements instead of the long rehashing of every point of the case like closing statements really are.
Cops work 24 hours a day. Night time. Day time. Holidays. 7 days a week. No one cares about getting overtime. Bosses don’t care about giving overtime. It’s only money right?
Long range? Many revolvers (I won’t say all!) have intrinsic windage: even if you locked the gun in a gun-vise, the shots will scatter to a certain degree. You can’t compensate for this, no matter what your skill.
(Now, hand me a Buntline Special, and the effect will be quite a bit less!)
And yet I’ve seen people make shots with revolvers at up to 100 yards.
And what do you mean they have “intrinsic windage?” Windage is the horizontal drift of the bullet. How do you have intrinsic horizontal drift? I have never heard that term before.
The hero will be in hot pursuit of the villain down an alley, when invariably a delivery truck will pull out between the hero and the villain, allowing the bad guy to escape.
May I ask where? 'Cause I can’t even see the target at 100 yards.
Hell, I can do it.
and here’s others:

Well, I did it for 4-5 years. And I’m certain that from the time we met, got engaged and married, my wife didn’t know that I smoked. So, I can’t agree with your premise. (FYI, we’re still married and I don’t smoke anymore.)
Mannix! Not just a revolver, but the classic TV detective snub nose .38. Our hero is in a jeep on a bouncy jungle road, being chase by bad guys. He takes careful aim (pretty sure he wasn’t driving) and puts a single shot into the pursuing vehicle’s radiator, immediately disabling that jeep.
Wow. Some talented shooters with special weapons. Impressive.
But, your last cite says:
And the target in the picture is nowhere near 100 yards.
The slam on the brakes perfect 180 U-turn seems commonplace. Is it that easy?
