Well I was thinking about buying this http://www.lockpickshop.com/p-MPXS-11.html and wanted some feedback about it, and lockdr are you saying I'm to be like that? I won't pick a lock that isn't mine or I haven't permission to.

Lockdr ("NOT RECOMMENDED" About what????) A 13 year old picking a lock?? It sounds like that kid you are talking about was an IDOT!

Please Don't Judge.

So now I've shimmed (whatever the word is) open my band locker lock and now I just need to get 30 bucks. My parents like only give me money for good grades, but I get alot for it. So if I get 2 A's it'll be enough.

"Shimmed" sounds about right to me.. Or bypassed. I need to make some Shims.

Just tell them straight or you will get into hot water trying to hide it, You can't get away with much, I work with youth and they always think they are 1 step ahead but we know!!!

The first my parents knew about my lockpicking was when i went around and changed the locks on their house cos they were crap!!! An advantage with being older is they don't really care and leave you to make your own choices. i only get the occasional dig like 'you sure that's legal!!'

Oh and this is my 500'th post

Another year and i may hit 1000!!!!!!!!!!

haha when I started it was just because I was bored and had nothing better to do so while I was driving around town one day I just stopped into walmart and bought some hacksaw blades and was in the middle of making my picks and my dad walked in and was like "what are you doing?" so I kinda had to tell him and then he shook his head and was like "whatever but I think your a dumb a** for making them because if you get caught with them anywhere they'll get you in trouble whether they're legal or not blah blah blah cops blah blah blah" then when he was done I was like ok dad thanks for the confidence. haha they still don't really approve of it but I don't really care theres nothing they can do about it....

Yeah, I've definently learned that hiding stuff is bad. Like if I was making the shims I mentioned earlier and my parents found a pocket knife and tin snips in my room they might wonder the wrong things.

your not allowed a pocket knife in your room?

by **christian_ptrsn** » 16 Feb 2007 19:48

Well, yeah a pocket knife, and my parents would just ask with what I was using the other stuff. Bad example. joemama

hehehe, m8 i live in england, i can be nicked if picks were found on me. "equiped with intent to tresspass" or summin like that. a copper took my picks away from me and tried to put me in the cr with cuffs on. hehehe i got out (thank you soooo much heisey22 for the handcuff guide, who would have guessed?) and ran off.

count ur self as lucky ur parents might even consider allowing u. speaking of which, i have a thread to make.

WTF. 1 - running away from cops is a very bad idea. Esp after you have been arrested

2, They can't arrest you for having picks in UK, only for going equipped (and THEY need to prove that. Picks are not illegal and 'proving' going equipped is dodgy ground. If you have picks on you and are honest with them you wont be arrested. Although if you have picks at 4am hanging outside a house thats not your own you will be nicked.

3, I think you are talking crap - getting out of dbl locked cuffs without knowing / wires while in the back of a cop car - then escaping.... yer right, ask for a set of real picks for your 13th birthday little boy...............

after reading this post i think i realise your reasons for learning to pick locks.
i hope i'm wrong but i doubt it.
also, you must have been acting suspiciously if the police had reason to stop+search you.
