What the language you refer to is, is called Leet speak, or 1337.
It goes like this- "Do you speak leet?"
Translation-"l)(=) l_l $P34l< 1337?¿"
Oh, go cry me a-

Never mind, good job!

I am assuming that, because you are here, you get the at least the very basic concept of lock picking: push up the pins, twist the lock thingy to open the door. I didn't want to take the time to go through four pages of people making fun of this kid's 1337 $p33|< so I don't know if anyone has posted this or not, but here is a diagram I found very helpful when I was just starting:

To get a better understanding of locks and lock picking, read the entire article. That should point you in the right direction.

I am quite new here too and can not spell properly either but on reading your first post i thought a lot of BMW's are going to go missing somewhere :?

Maybe a signiture of 'My English isnt very good' instead of the sledge hammer thing and a location of Venezuela might be a better option for you, and would have stopped most of this thread happening.

The air thing only worked on very old Fords as far as i know and only worked now and again anyway, it was by using half a tennis ball.

That's the same article I used to get started with lockpicking. It makes things really easy to understand, even without any prior knowledge at all. :wink:

Its ok now, i fixed it. i picked my first lock today, it was a 5 lever tumble lock and i picked it with a bent hairgrip as a wrench and a safety pin as a pick! yay first time!
That 1 klick when you know you've done it is sooooo cool
