I wish i had a video camera! I had a legitimate mcgyver moment! I was explaining to a friend who is also a business owner that i did not feel that he had enough security in his business and that his door locks needed beefing up. He took my warning as a bit of bragging and wagered that i could not enter his building in under a minute first try. Unfortunately i didnt have any tools on me (illegal for me to carry picks in my state) so i spotted a pen with s shaped steel retainer i snapped off the ball head on the clip. I then pried it from the pen. For a tension wrench i bent a paperclip over itself. Unfortunately i took longer than i thought i would, i blamed it on tool unfamiliarity, but i was six seconds over a minute. My friend was very impressed and stated that he intended to beef up security. Wish i could post a video, but look at those pen clips! Tension wrenches and picks waiting to happen!

Ok, I have a MacGyver story too. No video tho.
I hope this isn´t too advanced for public forum, it is about automotive bypass. Feel free to delete my post if you think I give too much info.
It was back in 1991 or -92. Me and three friends were driving across Sweden to get to Roskilde rock festival in Denmark. It was getting late, about midnight. We had already missed the last ferry to Denmark so we were going to put up a tent and continue driving in the morning.
We took a random exit from the freeway and turned right two times. We parked on a side of a farmers field, and started to put up a camp. The sleeping bags were out, not much more, when someone locked the door, keys inside. We had no tent, were in the middle of no-where, somewhere in southern Sweden.
My friends were trying to find a suitable stone to brake a window, but I told them to hold it.
Only tool I had was my Swiss army knife (just like MacGyver). So I took the license plate off with my tool, and after maybe 5 minutes managed to bypass the lock on the door.
...and the rest of the journey was even more eventfull, but thats a different story. 8)

I don't mean pictures of the bypass, I mean pictures of the locks. ;)

Though if they are so advanced you can't even post pictures of them... :shock:

Pardon my ignorance, but what is banana bumping? (ducks and prepares for horribly punny or off-color answer)
