Im with vector, he wont make/sell/give ya anything. Either buy from the net or make your own, seeing as you know nothing, read the guides and FAQ's. The fact that you're trying to open a car is a little sus too.

Well about the customs, They Shouldnt take the picks, but i have heard about someone who ordered written material about lockpicking and that was confiscated but the picks werent. You should be fine ordering, but there are some other posts about customs so you should do a little research.

Personally if you came to me i would send you away... very worried.... Net would be the best option, i dont know if a key cutter could do it, and i dont know any self respecting locksmith who would cut you jiggler keys etc... ethics :lol:

I think the guys above are right in what they are saying, no locksmith is realistically going to make you a set of jigglers.

However, in reference to customs, check this out, http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=4369

My google-fu is strong today.

Hi to All,

Unreal, irresepective of whether you get the picks past Customs, being in possession of such items is illegal in NSW, unless you are in possession of a security license.

Most states haave similar laws, and do not require you to be doing anything illegal with the picks. Having them on you is enough to get you arrested (7 year jail term in NSW) :shock: .

Think very carefully, my friend! :wink:

7 years jail? sheesh, didnt know it was that harsh. Its you're decision, i think if you keep them at home you should be right, unless you're a very law abiding type person.

:lol:

7 years is kinda harsh for just haveing the picks in your pocket or something. I always put something in my pocket and forget that they are there. Like pencil... And I'm sure lock picks size and shape aren't that different from a pencil.
