King Air 200 stolen in Fresno by a 17-yo
I am simply pointing out that information is much easier to find these days and that isn't always a good thing, the possible consequences need to be looked at when it's easy to discover how to open a hotel room safe or break into a car with a quick search online.The latest scams are available online, is someone going to use the information to make sure they don't get caught or try running a few themselves ?
When I was a child, parents were the main source of information and this gave status to them as you had to go and ask, now it's Google

We can look at the possible consequences, but that's all we can do, other than the right thing, which is to design and implement security in ways that actually work.
In the world of engineering, the practice of trying to use hiding, cloaking, etc. as a security measure is referred to as "security through obscurity*." It has been deprecated since the mid-nineteenth century.
*Most commonly used, in recent decades, in the world of software.

Probably a good ol’ paper based flight manual to be found at arm’s length somewhere in that plane. No need to drain the data plan.
Construction equipment of the same manufacturer typically only have one key. So have doors of railroad engines. Key management would be too complex. But sssht. Don’t tell anyone.

The damage to the airplane looks to be pretty extensive, and I wonder where the prop wound up. She's lucky that she didn't eat the prop ... or it her. I can sense the insurance companies scrambling, and the lawyers circling (like the buzzards they are).

This could have been worlds worse to a ridiculous degree if God forbid, she managed to get it going and it traveled at full speed out of control into a taxiing airliner full of fuel, or even managed to get enough speed to get it off the ground into the air, out of control, into the city. Really says a lot about the security, or lack-thereof, on the field.
Probably true, but probably the last option today's teenagers would consider if they were trying to get a plane started.

Seems to be popular. Reported yesterday in 'La Depeche du Midi' that a 16yo Moroccan was up before the bench in youth court after being found in the cockpit of a Vueling A321 at Paris-Orly in June. A maint tech noticed a light in the cockpit of the parked plane and found a set of portable air-stairs and the plane open. He investigated and found the youth in the cockpit, wearing a pilots hat, pressing buttons on the control panel. Many questions over how he had accessed the ramp, found and placed the air-stairs, etc.
Nothing mentioned about flight manuals.
