    Jim,

    I know that was sarcasm, but looked at in another way, it is. Videos like this can educate would be criminals on how to do this but it can also educate us on what locks can keep thie threat from being real.

    Get rid of the old style locks and replace them with more theft proof systems. Sure they are expensive but not as expensive as the court battle I would be in for after blowing away any idiot that decided to use a bumpkey on my house while I am home! :x

    All kidding aside, I learned from this video. I knew nothing about locks, but now I'm going to check mine.

    Hey I read recently that some hacker has a doo-hickey that can get into any hotel room in the world in 25 seconds if they have a card reader lock.

    Well this thief was met by a armed and trained home owner and was shot in the act of burglary. Why post this? Well the guy who was armed and defended his home, is a long time anti-gun legislator from North Carolina. I guess he was always against YOU owning a gun, but not him.
