I am new to this forum, and was wondering if anyone had any decent diagrams of lock picking (where you can see the inside of the lock, with pick and tension wrench at work)

thanks a lot!

Hope to see you around. :D

NO! I'm just listening to what the other members say about the floobing and getting in line, that's all. So this guy asks a bone-ass question that a potted plant could answer if he had looked around first. It's not my job to terrify, it's my job to educate, ... :cry:

Speaking for potted plants everywhere:

We do not like your tone SF, some potted plants, especially the "Ficus" genus are quite skilled in lock picking, some of the older figs are now regularly contributing to lock manipulation and safe cracking. I've even heard tell of a Geranium who has aquired a quite impressive technique when it comes to Medeco Biaxils.

I respectfully requeat that SFGOON either remove himself and his anti-potted plant "hate" speech, or me and the rest of the flora will have no choice to infest all your gardens and make the lawns throughout the world quite unsightly, we may even start showing up in between those cracks in your sidewalks and driveways :evil:
