    I just went on ebay and these were for sale at $9.99 for a set of the six most popular locks. Unreal. I imagine it’s only a matter of time before this becomes a serious problem. Being a product of a misspent youth, my mind goes to work with all kinds of possibilities with this. I can only imagine what these would do in the wrong hands.

    I guess this is why having an alarm system works well with the conjunction of locks. If they bypass the keylock at LEAST the alarm will go off.

    Oh my god. Y’know, I just realized… that’s a Youtube video. This vid is going out into the hands of millions of potential would-be thieves.

    *slaps his forehead*. I’m getting a RFID lock.

    Interviewer: “How long have you been opening locks?”
    Guy: “About 12 years”
    Interviewer: “Whats your opinion about this”
    Guy: “It’s a bit boring, it requires no skills”

    Me: then get another hobby you silly rotund fool.

    Right - First I tried to get a set off of e-bay as #1 Aleki said. The keys I got were pretty bad. I actually had to file them down myself to make them work - which is pretty sad. The next set I got from http://www.bumpkey.us The keys worked. I did have to file the tip and shoulder down but that was to be expected.

    It’s almost a little too easy. I mean - you really don’t know who is buying these little guys.
