let this be a lesson to you, if you're going to rent a storage
locker, BYOP (Bring Your Own Padlock)

I had a storage unit one time. Put my biggest Master lock on it. Went
to the storage one day, found bolt-cutter jaw marks on the lock.
shackle.

Turns out the bolt-cutters must have been small (18-24" and not the
big one, like 48"?

Most all locks in other units had been cut off, items stolen.

Big Master Lock = 1
Bolt Cutter = 0


My locksmith friends don't use bolt cutters, they use a circular saw
with an abrasive metal cutting blade which zips right through the
biggest and baddest padlock. I know they were using 120vac saws but I
don't know if they've gone to battery powered saws. I imagine the 24vdc
cordless circular saws will power through a lock. ^_^

TDD

This was back in 1986 (corrected). We always had big bolt cutters in
the armory / lock shop, at work. They still have them today.

What happened to when real crooks used a crow-bar?
