nice CBS News piece on professional safe crackers.

Forgot how to dial the combination on that old safe? Think you got the right numbers but the handle is stuck? What safe should you buy? Ask your safe questions here!

I understand why people think you'd care about the riches in the safes.
The thing they don't get. It's not yours so the safe might as well be empty.

I find it fascinating how many people are obsessed by theft, not as a criminal mind but just as a kid playing a spy.
Robbin hood, James bond and many others. Day dreaming about the car they can never afford and how life is not fair for not giving them it.
Safecracking is overly romanticized too.

I don't care for your riches. I only care for the locks as a mechanical device not for what they protect.
Sometimes it's hard to see these separate and keep respect for security value.
The guy in the video has quite the collection of locks!

I won't even look inside a safe once it's opened --I give the door a little pull just to make sure & then clean up my stuff & get paid. At least half my clients don't even want to repair the safe, I guess they'll just throw it in the trash
