Same age as Mick Jagger. Paul MacCartney is 63, Keith Richards is 98 I believe :)

Nah, Keith only looks 98 right :wink: .
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

I'm convinced that Keith Richards has been dead for years and is constantly controlled by invisible marionette strings.

I also took the foley-belsaw course, but did it from a different perspective. I worked in a shop for more than a year, then the owner got sick and the business died. I had experience, but no certificates to my name, so I was basically unemployable... concidered a burgler with a consience. I took the course and instantly had credit in the industry with all the people I'd gotten to know through my time... guys that would come into my shop to borrow stock wouldn't even acknowledge me after the shop closed, it was weird.

The course was totally worth it. I've talked to people I don't even know, and they've asked me to come work for them, just becuase I did the course. It's pretty cool. Totally worth the money. DOn't forget that it is a starting point, and there are lots of books and magazines out there afterwards. I've spent at least twice what the course cost on books, Locksmith Ledger subscriptions and the like.
keys, we don't need no stinking keys!
