Hi! I'm new here! Sadly, I am extremely new as I have not yet picked any locks or tried to make any picks :oops: but I have read quite a bit and am soon hoping to get a lock pick set. Well... that's it... and wish me luck, whoever cares.

My name is Donald. I am the dumbass that locked himself out of the office. That is the reason that I joined this forum. But I do think it is really interesting. If I get into my office, I will stick around.

Hey everybody. I joined March 30, so I am pretty new. I just got into lockpicking about a month ago, picking with paperclips. I finally ordered me a lockpick set last Friday. Paperclips are getting aggravating to learn to pick with. :x
Stupid people are always happy, because they're too stupid to know any better.
