Can you pick a lock? Would you think its hard to learn? Its not when you have the tools.
 
No. I have a friend that can. I try not to piss him of because he can open the door to my house while Im gone at work.

I can pick some locks with a bobby pin.

I'm actually considering learning how to do this... not for criminal reasons but, just in case I happen to do something stupid one day like leaving my keys at work, I can easily get inside without them.

It would be a neat skill to have..

Everyone you know would probably blame you every time something in their house goes missing though.

Yes and it's helped me several times when I was locked out of my house

Yes. Most locks present little challenge....



I have my own set of picks. Imported from the USA.
 
I'd love to learn. Just don't have a teacher.
 
It's useful. I just hate it when I'm locked out of the house and my mom has the keys and I don't have a bobby pin or something with me.

Is there no place where you could hide a spare key? I have a spare key to my house hidden on my property

She had it.

I swear...we need to get copies made of that key.
 
I don't like lock picking. The thought of someone being able to override and lock and break in isn't welcome with me.

Like it or not, it can be done.

I hope I'm not the only one who doesn't want their lock picked.
 
Nobody wants their lock picked.

But its a good skill to have.
 
No.. For getting into something you've locked yourself out of. For helping those in need.

You could turn into a career and become a locksmith.
 
It's probably a bit trickier than sliding a bobby pin into a keyhole, though,
