Heading to a gym soon? Well, you may want to change locks after seeing how vulnerable your keyed lock is to being picked. Since you’ll have more reasons to sweat … with nervousness.
In a clip which has garnered over one million views, YouTube user “bosnianbill” reveals how simple it is to open up a case hard Master Lock with just a plastic zip tie. He took a file on his pocket knife and cut some small grooves to get the Master Lock open in a video that has gone viral.
He also went on to say that one of his “lock-picking friends” also was able to open up a Master Lock with a bamboo BBQ skewer, a small hammer — and even a dried chicken bone.
The YouTuber is encouraging viewers to submit their own “tricks” for popping open Master Locks, even suggesting — get this — a bird’s feather.
I’m sure thieves everywhere are champing at the bit after this discovery.
Do you believe this to be true? Have you tried and succeeded? What did you use?
