How are you guys dealing with electric parking brakes that are set, when you don't have the key? I've been having to dolly them and it's a pain. I've heard of salvage haulers that have retracted the brakes using a jumper wire but I'm unsure of exactly how they're doing so, and more importantly what consequences this might have for a non-crash vehicle that will be driven once it is picked up. Obviously if it's a manual trans in neutral that's an obvious issue but for keeping the conversation simple let's assume I'm talking about an automatic trans in park, so there's no worry about roll-away if the brake is released.

Amazing. About the same mentality, though considerably more dangerous, as some scrappers I saw flat-towing an old Cadillac with no tires on the wheels. Just skating it down the street using the chain and pipe method, like a slow-motion episode of COPS. Richard
