Follow me on:

One of the more popular, not to mention disconcerting, videos on YouTube in recent weeks boasts a demonstration of a little-known method of breaking and entering known as "lock bumping." Though it does take a specially-made key, the actual opening of a lock by this technique is so simple even a child can do it (if you don't believe me, watch the video), and most commonly used locks are vulnerable.

I believe that by doing this tid-bit it is a way for some people to make more money. Lock-makers, towns, counties, politicians,through the courts and the fines and the jailing or convictions of youngsters and criminals alike. I believe this encourages to young to do things they wouldn`t have thought about. I believe whole-heartedly that the children who do this don`t realize that if they get caught. Which most likely they will..the consequences will be most likely set to either jail or Iraq! Just a scheme to entice our youth to do wrong so they can be volunteers. I believe that should be stated when showing stuff as such. I believe that the consequences from being caught at doing such a stunt should also be as clearly stated as the way it is described as how to do these criminal acts were and in the very same detail. Now that I expressed myself. I am not verily saying all this is so. I am stating it is a very real possibility in my mind. Kids DON`T TRY THIS AT HOME! should be clearly STATED.
