LPL is an amazing lock picker, anyone with this level of skill is much better off working as a locksmith or a security consultant.

Most B&E’s aren’t exactly executed by master thieves they aren’t single pin picking your locks.

When selecting a door lock or a pad lock you should care only that it can be raked or bypassed, for bike locks you should also care that it can’t be easily cut.

For the most part your door is likely going to be the weakest link as most people don’t have reinforced doors and door frames.

Many people even install glass windows.

Smashing a window is unnessecary noise.

I've been burgled 4 times in my life, all 4 were either jimmied window or jimmied door (usually a screwdriver as a prying tool).

4 times? Where do you live just out of interest?

[NikkiA]

I don't live there any more, but 3 times were Middlesbrough UK, the 4th was in Mountain View, CA.

Why? You looking to make it 5 times?
