a couple of times I have found on the ground some hair barrett that is made of good thin spring steel, and looking at these, I believe that the spring part on the back would easily become a padlock type shim.

I have yet to try this but when lp101 member Unjust invites me to his 'twin cities makers' club for the lockpicking session, I may remember to bring this and try it out.

Just look at someones collection barretts and see if you have one that could be a padlock shim.

It would be a good movie scene for some female actress, to use one of these.

I picked open a chinese large masterlock clone with the blade on the sissors of a swiss army type knife. I used a regular tension wrench. I got in a small lock using an eyeglass screwdriver as a rake.

A female acquaintance of mine invited (with some gentle coaxing) me over to her place after a few drinks at a local pub. When we got there she realized she didn't have her house key with her. I thought of using her windshield wiper blades, but it had been raining and I wasn't sure how she'd feel about me ripping the wipers off of her brand new Mercedes so I asked if she was wearing an underwire bra. Luckily she was, and after a few minutes of grinding out a half-diamond pick with one and bending and shaping the other into a tension wrench, I had suitable tools. I then proceeded to open her front door in about 30 seconds. Needless to say, it wasn't the only thing of hers I got into that night!

you got into her twitter account too?

Don't have pictures unfortunately
But i've picked into a few different wafer locks with two paper clips.
Just bent one into a tension wrench and the other i just made a rake out of it worked great.

Another story my dad lost the key to his cheap safe but still had the combo so i picked into that
with an electrical fork connector as a tension wrench and a hair pin as a rake.

I'll have to get some videos of picking wafer locks with paper clips.
