I my self go down to the local car junk yard and they would let me play all day there trying to open car doors via pick or control forces entry. I give them a business card and ask them if I can use there yard and will give them a free entry if they need my service.

Excellent idea. Here's one better;

Used car dealerships have a "back lot" of vehicles that will go to the auction. Same deal, offer to open doors IF they'll let you prectice. The kewlest part is that there's usuallly a big turnover, and there's always something new, plus, common vehicles in your area will show up a lot.

Be careful on those car windows that don't have framing, they very easy to get into, but they do brake. Yes use a scratch guard to, be professional
