Peter Rhodes on a Tory deserter, hot-wiring cars and the end of the line for “head girl”

The new series of the excellent French thriller Lupin is on Netflix, bringing with it a regular movie cliche. Our hero Assane (Omar Sy) needs to steal a car. So he breaks in, removes a small piece of trim from the dashboard and finds two bare-ended cables, obligingly colour-coded. Touch them together and – mon dieu! - the engine starts. If there was ever a time when hot-wiring a vehicle was so quick and easy, hasn't it surely passed into history?
