so, once again before i realy must go.

i am not going to steal,

i can't blow anything up,

im not going to give any one any reason to search me,

i am going to convince my parents, following towch's advice, and using this site as an example of the strictness of the whole thing,

i was only going to be sly to avoid my parents,

i might find a reason to grow up soon, (that was a bit of a harsh thing to say)

i am only going to do this as a hobby,

sorry for my many double / triple posts.

its the way you asked your questions,
i may have jumped the gun but you've already been arrested once while being in posession of lockpicks.
if your here to learn lockpicking as a sport/hobby then i'm sorry for some of my previous comments. if not, i stand by them :)

TOWCH wrote:...Make a bump key and bump your house lock. Then show them a video of the same lock being picked....



[nitpick] You make an excellent point regarding demonstrating to his parents that lockpicking is hardly an ideal means of illicit entry... however, surely we do not intend to encourage people to bump(or pick) locks in use? [/nitpick]

Of course I am sure TOWCH is aware of this, but I'm surprised UWSDWF missed this one :wink:

To the OP - if you had just worded your posts differently, your intent would've appeared far less questionable. "Joking" about plastic explosives, and talking of escaping from handcuffs whilst under arrest (in another thread) is not the way to build credibility here.

Not at all.... The issue of not picking locks you own _really_ seems to get rammed down people's throats here ad infinitum (and for good reason). I was merely throwing a little wood on that fire.

I would've thought the way I wrote my post made it clear it was all in good humour - if not, my apologies.

Had to google to have any idea of what chav hunting means... :oops:

[extra-nitpick] 'huntee' (sic) is not a word. Maybe you meant 'hunted' [/extra-nitpick] :twisted:

*runs and hides*

Hah, you really do gotta be careful for a little while. I really don't think you should be banned for being misunderstood and joking about plastic explosives. Lol he said he got arrested and escaped on a topic I started. You shouldn't say that whether it's true or not.

Well, happy picking have fun with your demolitions equpment. I keep on thinking of a guy stumbling into a bike store putting bombs on a bike wheel and blowing it up.

:roll:
Should have gone with my first instincts, or read the whole thread.

Matt, it's clear to everyone, that even without premeditated intent, you make poor choices. You will without a doubt get yourself into trouble with lockpicks unlike any trouble you've gotten in to before. Please save yourself from the temptation of very unpleasant mistakes, and forget about lockpicking until you are less likely to get yourself in to trouble with it. Come back then, register a new account, and when you stop stinking of trouble waiting to happen, then you will be welcome here. You will no doubt be banned otherwise.

It occurred to me, but I think more likely he got linked here from totse and company. It's a pretty good imitation if it is a troll.
