So do we need a second technician to get past level two or what?

I think we just have to farm padlocks and level this one up.

He just had to fetch bump keys from the van.

It was like a Yale OBB lock, he says, but with a relatively unusual fourth wheel – which would have made robotic unlocking much more time-consuming than the cracked-in-6-hours youtube vids attest. The door contained 5 inches of concrete.

He’s a retired Air Force serviceman who has been a safecracker for 25 years. His most challenging job was when a guard armory found that it had lost the combination to their weapons vault when deploying. 18 hours.

As a child, he was fascinated by magic and crime. He wanted to break into things – but chose to do it legally.

It is time.

has he ever dressed like this:

And if the answer is no. Then how can we trust him to handle the swirling vortexes contained within the safe.

Is he truly prepared for the blood wave?

Are any of us?

How long is this going to take? It’s 20 to 2 in the morning in the UK.

I’m pretty sure that’s intentional.

Bumping a lock is typically pretty fast. I’ve tried it a few times.

That’s if the locksmith survives the trip the car. Dark energies swirling about.

You should have him write a guest blog or 3 on BB about his most interesting cracks.

BTW, I’m surprised @jlw is following this thread but not @frauenfelder. I thought Mark was all about the locks (and Jason more about the lox).
