While Iggy's talking about safes...
I thought now would be a good time to relate a story about locks.
I've always had a passing interest in locks and lock picking, but it was just that - a passing interest. Until a few years ago when I picked up a rental video on lock picking. Holy crap, says I, It can't really be that easy, can it? So, I bought a cheap set of lock picks, and took a whack at it. It really was THAT easy. The 15 year old kid from down the street happend to stop by, and I showed him my new-found "skill." After I spent a couple of minutes explaining what goes on with the pins inside a lock cylinder, he proceeded to pick my front door lock. A long time ago, a locksmith told me, "Locks are to keep honest people honest. If a bad guy wants to get in, he's going to get in." After my brief experience with picking various locks, I believe him. Anyway, I thought y'all might like the story. |
