I guess the more important question than how to get your gear out of someone else's door is whether you're going to report this property crime.

After contact from you and your previous posts the suggestion of it being someone else especialy someone in the sas (wouldnt that have counted as gross misconduct and seen him disaplined, also arent they told that during training they arent allowed to drink?) i reckon this was actualy yourself but thats my opinon and ive no proof,

I believe ive been saved from seeing another bad title so thanks Schyler,

I warn you now, you should ring a real locksmith and pay for them to replace the lock 'your friend' has jammed items into regardless if they are still there or not, your vast inexperiance can not possably tell if the lock has been damaged or its life shortened,

May i suggest that the next time you get pissed up at a BBQ you dont run around showing off what you think you can do, also to remove tools from a lock by simply ripping them out is past my compehension, do you actually have any sort of brain in there?

You ask via pm if you can get into the advanced sections? does this sort of thread not tell you why you dont even get a reply?

What you or 'your friend' has done is as said illegal and it should be reported, if it wasnt you the least you can do is get the lock changed the best you can do is get the lock changed and report it to the police as an attempted break in,

I suggest you do not have the skills or knowhow to change a lock yourself and a locksmith should be called at your expence to do it,

Of course this means tellign the hme owner what happened but that shouldnt be an issue as your an honest person, right?

Ray, think what you will but i merely follow the rules where so many do not, you grumble about bad threads and spam and why people dont search for easy answers well decent titles is the start of all that, rightous maybe but its called for obviously,

Actually same thing happened with my brother, exept it was a lock that i owned! After my brother found out that i had a pick set he just HAD to try them out. He tried to pick one of my deadbolt locks and he also got the tension wrench stuck in there pretty good. I managed to get it out with the broken key extracter that came with my pickset. I never thought that would actually come in handy someday

Shrub, at what point did I mention drink? And he has actually finished in the SAS.

Hi Matt. May I buy your picks from you, with the promise you don't buy any more?

This is the reason why if I ever show any of my friends how to pick locks (which is not often) I only let them use my collection of cheap S rakes I never use and don't care for.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

He'd get RTU'd if he got caught, which makes him an idiot or you a storyteller.

I think this has been going on long enough. There is just no reason to leave this open that I can see :roll: .
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!!
