How does this guy manage to steal the cars in the movie. Well he just gets in and starts it in one scene, that's literally all he did. And in another later scene he does something to the engine … they don't show what...and then closes the engine hood and starts the car.
But in the first scene I described clyde or whatever his name is...doesn't do anything to the engine in order to steal it. Nor could he have done it off camera...because it shows him walking up to the car , gets in and starts it.
Same thing in bringing up Baby. She just gets in cary grants car at the golf course and drives away...then he tells her that That isn't her car it is his car.
Then she gets in another car parked next to her car because the leopard crawled into it. And drives away.
Dammit, I know the second movie is realistic in anyway. But c'mon! And in the first movie that Is supposed to be realistic, I mean it based on true events. And people.

A lot of people at the time never bothered to lock their cars or take their keys. Remember the old "we used to never lock our doors at night" nostalgic complaint. In the 1960s (I think) or early '70s there was a concerted media campaign to encourage to take their car keys with them and lock the cars doors. The appeal was, "Don't help a good boy go bad." In other words, it was a temptation for a teen to drive off in a car with keys in the ignition which would net him a criminal record. Somewhat "blame the victim" but still who wants their car stolen.
As to getting under the hood, "hot wiring" has always been a movie trope. Movie heroes are always able to start cars without keys, usually by reaching under the dashboard, pulling down some wires, and fooling with them for 5 seconds until the car starts. It's nonsense, but happens in dozens, if not hundreds, of movies.
