Employees picking the vending machines, NEED HELP**

Postby crazyguy_07 » 3 Oct 2006 4:11

Can somebody please help me,

There is a re accuring problem with my dads business and that is that everynow and then employees are breaking into the vending machines within the business. He has found on a few occasions that the locks were left unlocked, (obviously forgot to lock it back up properly). Nobody has a key for the machine except my dad, So we know that someone is picking the lock. He has an idea of who is behind it, as this person has some sort of experience with locks. The question is, He is woundering how easy it is to pick such a lock, and if it takes much skill to use these lockpicks. Can a person with not much time and experience pick a tubular lock found on vending machines??

Thank you,
crazyguy_07

Humm, are you sure you don't just want free drinks from school?? I would have believed it before Ezer pointed out you other post.

Answer as stated is yes, although the tools are quite expensive.

if your father was a bank manager
and someone was stealing money from the bank

that doesn't mean you need to know how to open the safe

if someone is breaking into the machines
they're breaking the law
call the cops

i have doubts about your intentions

Tell your Dad to buy a cheap wireless camera from Ebay and catch the person on video, then call the Police...

No. At the very least you need a special pick and it aint cheap. Is it possible your dad is a candy junkie and may be the culprit here ;)

I think all that needs to be said has been said,

Please do not post this sort of question again,

Call the police, change the vending machines, install a cctv system, all good ideas but as for anyone even suggesting how to pick those locks or get in to machines its simply not going to happen,

Locked.
