I had a friend visiting me one time and he locked himself out of his car. I asked a policeman friend of mine for advice. He gave me a “jimmy” and said, “You did not get this from me.”
I, an amateur, took all of about 30 seconds to get the door open.
I also broke into my own car once using only a screwdriver.
This is back in the day when you needed physical keys to open car doors.
(Twilight Zone theme) I was walking down the hall at work yesterday and found an old fashioned hair pin. Not a bobby pin (flat on one side), but a wire hairpin. It’s probably been 20+ years since I’ve even seen one! Then, the very next day, this shows up. Freaky.
My mom’s 1960 VW bug had those ‘wing’ windows up front and all the thieves need to do is make a fist and thump on it close to the pillar and it will push the lock open.

Sounds like they’re in lock step about the opportunity.

The hair pin isn’t picky.

Don’t be so picky!

Picking locks can be a calming pick me up.

Pick your locks, and then your nose. But not in reverse.

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose

For fun; go over to YouTube and look up the Lock Picking Lawyer. He can show you how he picks ANY keyed lock.

This is The Lock Picking Lawyer, and today we’ll be picking three dollar store locks, using just a bobby pin.
Coincidentally, the first lock I picked was with a bobby pin. We’ll use a 50 thousandth turner to tension off pin 1, then insert the bobby pin …

Their enthusiasm for being “picked” would seem to suggest that it feels pretty good — or am I reading too much into it?
