I hate it when people show that kind of stuff on Youtube. Most are school kids who are shooting themselves in the foot by showing it. They will take it off if someone breaks into their locker.

If pin cylinders are being advertised as bump-proof today, maybe we'll start seeing double-ball padlocks being advertised as shim-proof.
