Picking Locks: The Conculsion

Now for the finale of the picking lock story, we head to me for the story. As you know from my previous blog, my neighbour got locked out of her apartment suite. It took all night to get her back inside! Now the exciting story... When I got back out there to watch, the part i missed was the drill breaking. Yes, the doorknob BROKE the DRILL!!!! What a battle? By the time i got there, it was already decided that the lock wasn't "pickable" and had to be just broken off. After the drill breaking, it's time for the old fashioned way of doing things. The screwdriver, this other thing, and what sort of looks like a hammer. Mostly the screwdriver was used though. The one big thing i learned from this, lock picking isn't as easy as people in movies make it look . :) After maybe 2 hours of work, the doorknob was FINALLY torn off of the door and the suite was once again accessible. The lucky thing is that the stove, that was ON when they got locked out, didn't start a fire. Surprisingly, the pot survived too! What a strong pot...
