Wow, I'll have to be extra vigilant against the threat of multipurpose duster spray wielding scallies. Those bastards are everywhere.

That was a way to decode car radios back in the day.

Whack them in the freezer and they lost their memory for the code and they were good to go

Car radios that had fallen out of cars.

Code was to be able to use them. If they lost power they needed a three or four digit code to get them working.
I think it was Grunding or Blapunkt that were supplying a lot of them back then.
