Awaiting lock-picking kit

Postby beefyboy69 » 24 Jan 2006 18:24

I get excited everytime i even think of picking a lock, i bought a few padlocks for when i get the lockpicking kit (just ordered it 2 seconds ago) , i know nothing at all about lock picking , but ive tried for hours with my home-made lockpick and no luck. after hours and hours of failed attempts and having to re-acquire more picks i am retiring this pick ... Image and the pick itself Image

Those of you wondering how i would attempt this, i place the bar of cheese over the lock hole, firmly take hold of my brick and hit it repeatidly, this therefore fills the lock and acts as a key? No, no it does not, don't try it, it just makes a big mess, (and if you are smart enough to do what i did and lock yourself out of the house to challenge yourself, and then realizing that the key will not fit in due to the cheese) and calling a locksmith explaining this?

I sure hope it is a joke, im getting worried you didn't use one of these schools that taught you this for £1000 for two days training did you. Did they supply the tool kit too

I don't care if you're joking or not... this is funny...

how about licking a plug socket?... the electricity passes through your finger into the lock and picks it.. homemade electro-pick :wink:

true story acctually (this story im telling) ok, i found a torch light *the ones they hook on cars and stuff for working on motor with more light. well, anyways i was at school in machine shop when i found this thing in the back, so i took a long aluminum bar (wanted to make a lightsaber , be the coolest kid in school...) so i threaded the end of the aluminum bar and twisted it into the socket on the torch, i plugged it in and got ready to shock my buddy. but when i switched it on it sparked and made black smoke at the socket and left burn marks around it, and the socket no longer works.

Alright, enough is enough....
