Default Faulty Memories?

I woke up in the middle of the night remembering that I had left my Douglas out on the side of the house because the wind was too strong to go riding yesterday after I had gotten ready to go for a ride. 25 mph ground level winds with stronger gusts hardly makes one want to go riding along side of heavy traffic going 45+ mph.

The side of the house is behind a gate with a master lock on it so it isn't as if there was any serious danger of it being stolen. But worse things have occurred.

Four houses in a three block area here have just been sold by people moving to Republican states where they can earn and keep their money. These houses have ended up in the hands of who knows who since they are rented out to illegal aliens. The City of San Leandro hiring illegal aliens. I suppose to prove how woke they are. But it is going to blow up in their faces then the government shifts and CBP shows up and pulls these people off of their jobs and sends them straight back to where they came from.

Frank and Jay disapprove of America for Americans under their own definitions of what is happening. Anyone is welcome as long as they go through the entry system and under the Democrats there is no system and the illegals that have been here for a decade are now losing their jobs to the new illegals and they are beginning to see the problems. You can even here them supporting the ideas of the Republicans inside of Mexican markets.

Master locks are easily picked, raked, bypassed, forced, or cut. I
suggest you watch a few YouTube videos on whatever model Master lock
you are using:

Incidentally, I just noticed that the Emonda you allegedly sold to
someone from San Francisco at asking price is listed on eBay as "This
listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer
available" instead of the usual sold tag. There's no feedback from
the alleged buyer and no expiration date on the original listing. Did
you really sell it?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/294106726321?orig_cvip=true

Your Colnago CLX3.0 is still available:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/294133828584

Sorry about the change of topic, but I'm still feeling a little down
from the vaccination side effects and thought that giving you some
more attention might improve my disposition.

I find your tales of illegal immigrants a bit, well, illogical. After
all you bragged about one of your ancestors being an illegal.

Those don't even require lockpicking 101.

I was under the impression that you were in the service of your country and presently are retired from the pay you receive from it? Why do you make every effort to undermine it? You pretend apparently, to not know what the laws were then or now or that they were completely different. You sure must hate the country of your origin.

BTW, we have a friend who went through a divorce. Her husband took the
keys to her shed's padlock. She asked me to open it for her.

It was a Masterlock. I tried the rapping technique but wasn't able to
make it work. I was SO disappointed! It's almost like stuff on YouTube
can't be trusted!

(I cut the shackle with a Dremel.)

There's a simpler quicker method. Write me.

I guess people think that none of these methods make noise and breaking and entering is a reason for self defense and beating someone to death.

I've been doing various forms of locksport:
http://lockwiki.com/index.php/Locksport
erratically for most of my life. I'm not very good at it, but am
getting better. When the lockdown started last year, I began spending
more time at home, which gave me an excuse to practice some more. It
takes time to assemble the necessary tools and get the feel for how
SPP (single pin picking) is done. I'm not that interested in bypass,
raking, bumping, jiggling, comb keys, etc. If you want to open the
lock with minimum effort, look into those, especially raking.
https://www.google.com/search?q=lock+rakes&tbm=isch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFEa_j3D97E (2:44)

I've had some luck beating on a Master Lock with one or two hammers.
The lock mechanism uses spring loaded levers instead of the far more
secure ball bearings:
http://www.1st-in-padlocks.com/images/magnum_comparison.jpg
Beating on one or both sides with a (plastic) hammer uses inertia to
compress the lever springs and release the shackle. The problem is
that if you hit the lock exactly the same time with both hammers,
nothing happens. You have to hit one side slightly before the other
side to get both levers to move toward the center of the lock. Just
moving one hammer a little farther away than the other hammer is good
enough.

(I cut the shackle with a Dremel.)


It's usually easier and cheaper to cut the door shed hasp than the
lock shackle. The better padlocks are worth far more than the door
hasp. However, if you must cut, an angle grinder with a narrow cutoff
disk is probably the easiest but noisiest.

I've played with various picking techniques you mentioned, but didn't
want to advertise the fact. And as I said, I'm not very fast. I thought
rapping might be both inconspicuous and fast, but I couldn't make it work.

I have a 120V angle grinder, but the woman's shed was probably 100 feet
from any outlet. My "dremel" is actually a Black & Decker clone. I found
that its power transformer outputs DC voltage in the range of 12V (plus
or minus), so for portable use I long ago rigged up a plug to power the
tool from a surplus motorcycle battery I happen to have. That worked
well enough for this task.

The biggest frustration was breaking then replacing a couple of the
fragile Dremel abrasive disks.
