We’ve all misplaced our car keys at one point or another. The problem lies around two o’ clock in the morning when you’re shit-faced drunk, have no money for a cab and your keys fall into a sewage drain.

No worries. Wired has the solution. It explains in detail all that is required to get your car up and running without the need of your car keys. Hopefully, you can prove you’re the owner of the vehicle you’re driving after getting caught by police thanks to some wicked anti-theft devices. Other than that, all that is required is some wire strippers and a flat head screwdriver. Grand theft auto has never been easier!

A Thai youth confessed to robbing and murdering a taxi driver while trying to recreate a scene from Grand Theft Auto 4. It is said that he was curious about whether or not it was as easy to steal a taxi in real life as it is in the game. Well kid, it is.

So, you thought Nintendo DS had nothing more to offer than some Nintendogs and Pur Pals? Think again, you wannabe veterinarian. A new Grand Theft Auto was announced exclusively for the Nintendo DS. Bringing a whole new storyline to Liberty City, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be your one (and only) chance to show those Triads that you don’t fuck around, you mean business.

Being the first GTA title for the DS, you can bet there will be a custom game engine designed for the game that will utilize the DS’s touch screen, though no specific details have been announced. We’re just hoping it has the classic top-down view from the original Grand Theft Auto we all know and love.

Chinatown will require players to “uncover the truth behind an epic tale of crime and corruption within the Triad crime syndicate,” says Rockstar.

Wait.. “an epic tale of crime and corruption?” Where have I heard this before? Hit the jump to find out:
