I remember getting locked out of my 2003 Grand Marquis, and then watching the locksmith open it in about 5 seconds. It was then I realized that my door locks are a very minimal intrusion deterrent.

That being said, I imagine it's quite more difficult to get back into that vehicle.

Locks are there to keep honest people out. Any lock can be opened given time

I'd say they are meant for dumb dishonest people (and most dishonest people happen to be dumb luckily). Honest people don't need a lock to keep them out of property that isn't theirs.

So what about if we stop time? That'll keep everyone out of my car.

They also serve as a social signal. If you unlock something with a key, you are assumed to be the owner of it by bystanders. If you bust out a lock picking-kit and start going to town, you are assumed to be committing a crime by bystanders.

Nearly everything can be a minimal deterrent for aggressive enough losers

Used to live literally a few blocks from there (SOMA) had my car broken into like 6x a year with nothing inside it and notes saying as such. Was such a hassle but was only like $70 Safelite trip not far away. Always wondered if they sent people out to break windows for business. You really could tell there wasn't anything in my car. Never heard of people doing it with drivers in my car though that's pretty wild.

Had my car here in Brooklyn for 5 years and it never got touched lol

As a locksmith, this is a dream come true.

You should study up to become a lawyer too, of the lockpicking kind

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 months ago

'Today we have this armored truck lock.' proceeds to decode the lock with a tool bosnian bill made in under 2 minutes

[–] bruhduh@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

Then locks it again to show it wasn't a fluke

[–] young_broccoli@fedia.io 8 points 5 months ago

I wish, but thanks for the compliment.

Yeah let’s see McNally toss this one after he rakes it with a single jab LOL

[–] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 5 months ago (1 children)

how much do you want to bet the locks can be opened in less than 5 seconds with a low-skill, non-destructive attack?

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 15 points 5 months ago

This is the lockpicking lawyer and today we're opening this armoured truck...

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The lock is the weakest part of the truck.

Yes I'm gonna climb to the top of it that'd help

[–] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

I did the same thing to our firetruck on a call. We didn't have an extra set of keys.

Surprised I didn't end up on a TikTok firefighter fail using a slimjim to get back into the truck.

Imagine if that's the moment they try to rob you, how do you explain that to your boss.
