Just look at it.
I did, and it just popped open.
Roger That!
Damn. You’re amazing. WE are amazing. This whole BBS is god damned amazing.
Wally, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Safe security is typically measured by the time required to break in. So this one would be like 15 seconds?
So a shoe box at the back of any closet is equal…
OK, now, no more LPL until he opens a lock without touching it, while blindfolded, just by listening to it.
I saw the
“I Found a Locked Safe at the Back of my Closet and Blasted it Open with a Howitzer”
thread, and I must say… you are right… that was
something.
I don’t know what and I would prefer that we not go there just yet. I need to grab lunch first. Then, I might be ready for today’s Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride.
Here, @beschizza have a cookie.
Oh yeah, we are Friday’ing over here.
It’d actually be better since it doesn’t look like a ‘safe’…
I eagerly await the one that opens just by thinking about it.
It is through will alone that I get the safe to open…
I think the take away of these videos should be:
Don’t base your purchase on something important solely on the price and what Amazon sells. Do some research and maybe buy from an established brand (which I realize often times also has issues, but not usually so blatant:).
I think I found the right one on Amazon. $20. Surprisingly it’s gun a pretty high review score. All the bad reviews are from people who had the lock break on them so they needed to pry it open, which they did easily.
Never guess what I’m thinking about right now?
10 of those were him scrambling the lock. I think he only took 5 to unlock it.
“Smart” safes have already been invented. You can hack them by Bluetooth.
