Very scary... I followed some of the links and also found a another video who's group is dedicated to defeating locks. http://www.toool.nl

I use Miwa magnetic locks for my house and my Vette is keyless. :-)

Not good. Copied and pasted. I don't expect this thread to be around long. =)

I saw this story on my local news a few months ago. Its one reason I have three dogs.

At this point I don't even know if I have a key to the house anymore and the keys are always in my vehicles.

1. Big dog

2. Big gun

If someone wants to get in your house, they will find a way no matter what.

[RadioAstronomer]

No dog, rarely there - lots of insurance. :-)

Generally not a good idea to try this as the mere possession of a "master key" is a felony in many states.

LOL I don't have any idea where the keys to my house are. It is never locked. Anyone that will open the door with Ranger the Doberman on the other side of the glass is welcome to whatever he wants.

If your vehicle Anti Theft Device is a large dog chained to the bumper; you might be a redneck.

Those key sets are $32. Actually I've wondered why bother with locks when knocking out a window is quicker.

How many who do own guns would have to tell the burglar to wait a few minutes until they climbed to the top of the closet and got down the gun, found the key to unlock it, and then rummaged around to find some bullets.

And those who do rely on Rover and King to patrol the perimeter, really think they'd come home to shewn body parts around the yard or happy puppies licking their victim?

Locks only keep out honest people.

"How many who do own guns would have to tell the burglar to wait a few minutes until they climbed to the top of the closet and got down the gun, found the key to unlock it, and then rummaged around to find some bullets."

If that is the condition someone leaves a gun for home defense, they are better off without owning a firearm.

There are gun safes with silent touch locks that spring open, so that you can access your loaded handgun within 3 seconds. Combined with a few well placed portable IR motion detectors, it would be very tough for someone to get to your defense area without being right between the sights...

Nah, I live in Jackson county in a heavily armed small town.

[Mr. Lucky]

So any burglar could probably expect to meet his Waterloo?

I saw this on tv a while back. They had locksmiths trying to use the system. Only one, with much effort, was able to get a lock open and none like the videos that are on the internet. Doesn't mean it doesn't work, but IMO its kinda like Carnies being able to show you how easy their games are so they can empty your wallet.
