  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.

  Nah most locks do their job at keeping the average car thief or other assholes out, the locksmiths have lost of experience and special tools that aforementioned people don’t have.

    You mean the special tools you can buy on scamazon for 12.99 plus shipping?

    Or directly from LPL now…heck I even stumbled across the inflatable bags that you use to pry open doors for like 3.99 at crappy tire.

      The locksmith used exactly the bag you’re talking about. He knew just where to place it so the door was minimally torqued. No risk of damage to the vehicle that I could see. He then used a long stick through the small opening to unlock the door.

      Hi Amazon! It’s us, the feds! We were wondering if you know of anyone near a specific area buying certain tools that we’ve seen be used to break into cars?

        The best way to stop a bad guy with a lockpick is a good guy with a lockpick.

    It’s not that hard and the tools can be bought at any auto store. It’s the factory alarm that is supposed to be the deterrent

      Shure but it keeps the bad guys out in most cases.

      Tbf thieves don’t use these bags, they are perfectly happy to use a hammer. People like the bags for the legal entries because of the whole “not damaging the car” thing most customers of locksmiths are into.

  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.
