That seems really, really stupid.

Sure, you can release the emergency break and take the car out of park. However, without the key in the ignition and at least turned to Accessory, the steering is going to lock up as soon as you try to turn.

Also, the power breaks aren't going to function, so good luck stopping.

Maybe this car model doesn't have a built in steering wheel lock?

It's possible, but the youtube description says its a Ford Focus, pretty sure that would have all the modern security features.>> ^Norsuelefantti:

Of course, this could be fake...(??)

It could be a set-up, or it could be that the person who let themselves into the car with the key has left their lights on and wants an easy push-start.

FYI (from a russian speaker), the background chatter was completely unrelated until stuff along the lines of "hang on... do you see what they're doing? Did you see what just happened?"

Which definitely raises the question, why are they taping at all?>> ^noims:
