I'm really glad this didn't happen to my car. I have 3x the insurance value invested in my 12 year old Porsche.
To disconnect the battery.

Funny thing about that, the battery was still connected. Some of the photos show that. I was surprised that the explosives in the airbags didnt go off.

They don't use a wrench, they use a cutter. I suspect the positive wire was cut.
