Hey everyone, im a newbie at lockpicking and im trying to make my own lockpicks but its not working too well. Would anyone be kind enough to give me 1 or 2 picks that i could start out with i would really appreciate it

street sweepers drop free picks all the time. all you have to do is file away everything that doesn't look like a pick.

I don't think you're going to get anyone here who's going to give you free ready-made picks that they've either paid money for or spent time making.

One or two picks will run you less than ten dollars shipped. Why bother begging? Walk around town for a while looking at the ground, and you'll pick up that much in change.

pmipaintballa5, what part of chicago do you live? I actually go to school in Lincoln Park (DePaul). We have street sweepers scheduled to go by tomorrow (tuesday) so i could probably pick some bristles up for you. you would have to shape them, but I could give you some tracings of my picks to use as a guide.

The fact that you know when the street sweepers are scheduled is awesome.

haha, ive often thought of ringing up the council:

"Ummm... excuse me... ummmm.... I am doing a....er..... school project about street cleaners and was .... wondering when they come in my area?"

Havent had the guts to do it yet, but its a good idea, anything free is good, especially to do with lockpicks.

technik: the best place to find street cleaners is in your towns main shopping area early in the morning. There will be lots of rubbish dropped there by shoppers and so there will be lots of cleaners. In my town I see them at about six AM in these places; there are normally half a dozen of them relatively close to eachother. And of course, early in the morning there is nobody else around to disturb you...

by **HeadHunterCEO** » 27 Apr 2004 17:08

I bet if you found out where the garage is where the cleaners operate from

walked right ion there and asked if they had some old bristles they would give them to you

by **ReverseLogic** » 27 Apr 2004 23:28
