Yes, and a big ceremony, with graduation-type caps and certificates for all. And cake.
The story does sound a bit fishy, especially since it keep changing, but I'm very cautiously willing to give people the benefit of the doubt. Of course, that doesn't mean that I'll jump right in and help you get the combo of the lock (which we can just about do, just need to get the false gates out of the way, and we're working on that). If you need the combo as quickly as possible, simply to crack it, and nothing more, there's very little that I'll be willing to do, for liability reasons, among other things.
If you'd like to help out the group, you'll need to earn some trust. Sorry to say, that can't be done too quickly, at least not in a single post or two. As for a way to prove you're not lying (not to accuse, but this is a lockpicking site, and we'd like to avoid a bad reputation because somone does something dumb with instruction from LP101), that would be pretty hard to do, since anyone can say anything on the 'net. You could post a few pictures or scans of the lock, not locked to anything (i.e. a locker, suitcase
, etc.). Coming on here, and saying that you wanted to crack a Dudley lock you found, or were given with a challenge to crack it probably wasn't the best way to start off, I think. I don't think you're neccesarily lying (benefit of the doubt), but I'm not sure, and there reasons (story changing, etc.) for me to think otherwise. As long as you can prove the lock is indeed yours, and not stolen or attached to naything not yours, then I'm happy.
If it ain't broke.....pull it down and see how it works anyway!
