Wow, what a van!

This is the old Locksmith business info area and will be broken down to fill in the new sections below.

But just think of the cost of fitting out your (underground) garage for your Thunderbirds type entrance!

:shock:

You mean sort of like a bat cave? Well then I think a proper costume would be in order too. Some thing along the line of a super hero, cap, tights, and of course a mask to hide our real identity so our family and friends would not be embarrassed ;)

A good name would also be needed, Lockman, Super Picker, etc.

If Krypos aggrees to do all this, I for one will be the first to make a donation!

That might get you shot by christian fanatics, because it's easy to be mistaken for an upside down cross. :twisted:

In Greek, "Krypos" means hidden, so "Krypos supportor" means "hidden supporter" (or no supporters at all)

No offense meant to you Krypos but I thought it was funny that you would start a fan club with no supporters :)

True enough. But did you also know kryptos (yes with a "t") is a variation from krypos, also related to encrypt/decrypt. Meaning hidden, to hide.

Therefor Krypos Supporters could mean hidden supporters, or puzzled supporters.

Yeah, just clicked on it and noticed that. Anyone know what it ended up going for???? I'd really love to know. If you put it on your 'watch list' on ebay and haven't deleted it yet, it'll still be there with the ending price and date and some other info. Can someone please check?

If it was removed by ebay or the seller (i suggest ebay as lockpicks arent allowed) then it wont have a number and the listing will just say not available,

Shrub did you even bother to see what this thread was about or did you just assume we're talking about lockpicks on ebay :lol: ?? You do know the auction was for an ambulance-turned-lockmobile thing don't you?? :lol:

Bother to read it? i knew about this van from another site before it was posted up here and i was one of the first posters,

You do realise the van was a toolbox full of picks and stuff dont you?

Many people have tried to sell such things but because the sale includes lockpicks etc it has been removed,

Im slightly offended by that statement as i believe i am one of the very very few that has actually read the full site and continues to read every post made on it,

Sorry just poking fun at you as it sounded like you thought the auction was for just lockpicks and that it had been removed because it was a lockpicks auction, I didn't think about the fact that the van would probably have lockpicks in it.
