RayFinkle Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Also did a Snope search on this: Snopes linky I guess it is time to upgrade the ole locks on the apartment...or just buy a gun.
Fezmid Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Bump keys have been around for a long time and they work. You can get a new lock, but it doesn't really help all that much. Locks are a deterrant and help slow people down a little, but no lock can prevent someone from breaking in. CW
RayFinkle Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 They claim that the upper end dead bolts are immune to bump keys.
Fezmid Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 They claim that the upper end dead bolts are immune to bump keys. They're not But regardless, you can have the best locks in the world and what's a thief going to do? Break the window to get in. CW
In space no one can hear Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Also did a Snope search on this: Snopes linky I guess it is time to upgrade the ole locks on the apartment...or just buy a gun. Thanks for the video!
Fan in San Diego Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 No substitute for a big ass nasty dog. bump key proof.
Chef Jim Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Thanks for the video! Why so now you don't have to break in by smashing a window?
In space no one can hear Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Why so now you don't have to break in by smashing a window? SHHHH! (They can here you!)
sweetbaboo Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 what the hell do people steal when they break in? computers? mine are old and outdated tv? mine is too big to carry out with a conventional car...if you steal it with a van, you're not going to carry much else i don't keep cash at home and my wife doesn't have my jewelry...anything more valuable is in a safety deposit box
Alaska Darin Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I have the best lock in the world. (G)lock.
In space no one can hear Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I have the best lock in the world. (G)lock. Maybe The Club is a better option than a conventional lock.

Those are valuable. DVDs and CDs are easily sold at pawn shops, as are electronics like DVD players, TiVos, cameras, camcorders, etc. I think silverware (the fancy stuff) might be valuable. Guns are valuable. Someone stole my grandfather's shotgun from the back of a closet many years ago. To your point though, it's not like you get rich robbing a house. I find it horrible that someone would violate you for what will most likely be worth less than $500. CW
Fezmid Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I have the best lock in the world. (G)lock. Doesn't help when you're not home.
Alaska Darin Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Doesn't help when you're not home. There are 3 Dobermans taking care of that little issue. I'd certainly think twice before entering a house with 260 pounds of feet, teeth, and attitude between me and anything of value.

Fezmid Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 They don't steal. They just infringe a little bit. Further proof that you don't understand, well, anything.

I'd certainly think twice before entering a house with 260 pounds of feet, teeth, and attitude between me and anything of value. Dobies, nice. Wonderful dogs. Seriously. I have a Malamute/Husky mix and a Pit Bull guarding the house when I'm not home. I also employ the (G)Lock strategy when I am home. Potential thieves will move on to the next house.
