[1418] Master Lock Sent Me a Challenge… Kinda.

As a young and curious kid "about 8 years old" I attempted to replicate what I've seen in movies when they pick locks. My target was a masterlock. I took one of my sisters Bobby pins and just raked it all around the keyway as a complete novice would do. It opened to my surprise. So in a nutshell, even an 8 year old can pick a masterlock.

[@allesindwillkommen]

As a young kid, I got curious about our neighbor's padlock that used those rotating knobs for password. I wasn't trying to rob them or anything, just was bored and started playing with it when no one was around. I was just dialing random numbers for a couple of minutes, when I noticed that some digits felt a bit different when you dial them. I knew absolutely nothing about locks, but just for fun, I set all the knobs to the digits that somehow felt different to me. And the lock opened. I actually got very scared as if I committed a crime, and ran away. I never got in trouble for that, so it's just a fun memory now.

[@pissiole5654]

I got the impression they didn't include a lock and he just found one himself that went with the joke

That wasn't camo tape, that was actually painted on the lock and came from the manufacturer that way. I suspect someone saw the camo MasterLock and had a great laugh and wanted to share the ludicrousness with us all.

[@OptimusPhillip]

@@Alskaskan It looked more like a dedicated vinyl skin to me.

[@Merennulli]

@@Alskaskan I honestly wasn't paying close attention the first viewing because it was obviously a joke. The way it curves around the edges at a glance looked something like the cheap cammo duct tape I've seen at Walmart, and the bunching of black at the bottom at 1:45 looked like a haphazard taping job. While typing this comment, I looked it up and it is actually a cheap plastic shell that pops off. Amazon has them marked down to $9 from $14. The reviews are not great, referring to the cammo and weatherproofing not holding up well. There aren't any LPL related comments yet but sadly people will probably spam it with those in time.

[@hatework4282]

As the old saying goes;"locks only keep out honest people." Humorous fan letter, and I'm glad he played along.

[@morningxafter]

That saying has always been flawed to me. Because a truly honest person wouldn’t take something that’s not theirs regardless of whether it was locked or not. What it really comes down to is making it an inconvenience for your average thief. Sure LPL can open just about every bike lock he’s shown on here in seconds, but your average bike thief can’t pick any locks and will instead cut through chains, so getting a lock that is harder to cut is the best way to go.

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs!

If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
