I just picked my first lock!

Hi All,

I saw something on the Internet about lockpocking and I thought "I gotta try that". I made myself a tension wrench out of a pen cap, and a pick out of a hair pin and sat down with a master 140 padlock and 'clawed' at the pins for about 5 mins. Suddenly I hear a click, and there was the lock open in front of me - it was such a great feeling.
I have been picking that lock all night, and I can now pick it in two seconds, it is so fun to just play with the pins in the lock to feel what happens :)


P.S. Sorry for the appalling English, I am writing this on my iphone and it takes ages so I forget how to end my sentenses xD

Congrats! It doesen't get any less fun as you keep picking. You should go get some better tools and try some better locks. I remember trying to pick with tools like that *shudder*
Again, Congratulations and welcome to LP101!

Once you've caught the bug, it'll be there forever.
