Pick a lock while holding it with your butt cheeks.

I picked one of the clubs ABUS diskus locks, it is easier than my 930, which i haven't had time to pick!
You know you're a good lockpicker when... you get an e-rock-tion from videos of new key technology. (IE: Multlock-MT5 http://youtube.com/watch?v=gi61JBC_aVU )

You know you're a good lockpicker when:
You can pick your way out of a pair of police-grade *hinged* handcuffs with the keyway facing towards you (away from your hands), using nothing but a bobby pin and the zipper on your pants.
...lol I can't take credit for this, but at one of our meetings a fellow officer managed to do it. Blake, you are officially the god of handcuffs

Umm, I guess you missed it. I made a funny. It seems like everyone on Youtube likes to rake locks. I SPP mine when I need a confidence boost. Do you think I should have said Kwikset Deadbolt? I don't think that they typically pick deadbolts on YouTube. And I know I'm not a good lockpicker, though I can easily pick both of these as well as many of my other locks.

lol I like this one......so true!
I remember when a mate asked me to get the lock off his field gate since his mum forgot to leave the key.
It was pitch black, drizzling & freezing cold. The lock was a right piece of cr*p as well.....totally rusted inside & out....I bet even with the key it would be on the verge of snapping it was that bad.
I felt like such a prat when I had to give up lol
What a load of old BiLocks!!!!
I'm probably 0 for 400 in looking for safes behind wall paintings

You know you're a good lockpicker when.....you have lost all sense of humor and take yourself too seriously.
