i think telling someone how to open a tub lock is probably better then telling someone how to open a deadbolt lock. lets see tub lock = chocolate bars or a bike, deadbolt = front door to a house, which has more then just chocolate bars :P

which one would you feel worse about breaking into? would you personally feel worse about breaking into a vending machine and stealing a few cokes and $30 in cash from the man, or would you feel worse breaking into someones home and stealing their valuables and baby pictures?

in all honesty we have all stolen something from "the man" at least once in our life... whether its something you left in the bottom of your cart and forgot to pay for it or a stapler you took from work because your boss pissed you off... but i dont believe anyone here has broken into a home. Thats why its more dangerous to tell people about vending machines... its a "victim-less" crime (mostly) and people, especially teenage emo faggots, are more likely to vandalize and rob them.

Makes sense. I mean, a lot of houses have a security system that calls the police when a window is opened (yeah. about that...)

I feel that no matter who, how or why a person steals... it's still theft.

Crime is crime. steal a chocolate bar or $100 dollars it's the same crime and the same time.

criminals can f-off and die... I have no compassion for them..... same thing with them emo kids though....

I deal with tubular locks all the time. The simple way to open them with the original key after someone has picked it once is to grind the tooth off the front of the key.

No *we* don't. I was in London once and the girl at the burger king counter gave me back too much change. I was outside the bk when I realized it. Well, I came back in and gave it back.

Okay I admit it I am a criminal! When i was 4 years olds (mothers story) we were at a shop-rite (oldschool shop-mart), I wanted a push pop she said no so i grabbed it and left the store.

Then I got a walapin' and she made me walk back in there and appologize and pay double from my own money, the cashier let me keep it for being honest and appologizing :P

However, stealing anything is wrong, American, Canadian, black, white, purple, we all have a strict code of ethics-> its call being a good person, and helping one in need and being honest. Were not perfect, and I agree, criminals are lazy idiots and with most of the crafty criminals, if they would put that knowledge to good use, they could help people, but no there lazy inconciderate bastards which eventually all get whats coming to them.

Like Kevin Mitnick, he got caught, realised his wrong, now has a security company giving people peace of mind.

to make/use these epoxy keys you have to pick the lock and turn it just enought that the pins have not popped up again.... correct?

manual tubular picking

Postby Spike666 » 7 Jan 2007 23:13

I just saw a detailed description with photos, I cannot remember where it was. There is a way and technique to it but you would have to touch base with a real old-timer to figure it out. Tubular picks arent that expensive pick one up.

For those of you who feel stealing from a vending machine is stealing from "the man", I guess meaning "the man" is the Coca Cola bottling company or other corporation, for the most part these vending machines are rented to some guy as a route.

This guy or gal is trying to eke out a living and purchases the products from "the man" and is fully responsible for the upkeep and proper working of each machine and of every coke, candy bar or whatever in the machine as well as any monies put into the machine to purchase the items.

I personally know of one man whose 8 year old son wanted to put a gumball machine in a store and actually the 8 year old had found a location. This young man (8 year old) now has 4 machines in different locations. He makes about $20 profit a month from each machine.

When you are stealing from one of these vending machines or tearing them up, you're not costing a big corporation a cent. You are, however, costing some guy trying to put food on his table plenty, not to mention, you may just also be literrally stealing candy from a baby in the case of my friend's 8 year old son.

Stealing is wrong - period.
