It’s a waste of time to let some of them out!

We had several of those last year. Then it stopped. You think the locksmith’s are showing up prepared now? Maybe warnings went out in Locksmith Gazette.

Moron. He stole two tension wrenches. You can make those using pieces of windshield wiper blades. It’s just angled metal meant to keep tension on the lock. The pick sizes and shapes are more important and harder to replicate.

We know quite a few people who just can’t seem to stop themselves from stealing stuff whenever they are given an opportunity. The “lock pick and two tension wrenches” depending on the type were most likely worth less than $20, but Shawn just couldn’t keep himself from taking souvenirs so now he is back in the pokey where he belongs.

When Obama’s policies come to fruition; we will probably be seeing a lot of guys like this missing their hands which admittedly will save the taxpayers a whole lot of money.
