It became clear early on that practice would be the key. However, as the week went by, it became more apparent that a miracle would be closer to the mark. I tried a few things and even plucked up the courage to walk into a key cutters to ask if they had any lock-picking tools. I was promptly told this would be unethical in a place that sells keys and I was on my way.
I really tried. Honest. And I don't like admitting defeat. I could have picked an easier task but I'm sure yale all agree that would have defeated the spirit of my year out.
To cap this disappointment off, I was involved in a spectacular coincidence for this week's finale when I locked myself out of the house for the first time ever. You literally couldn't write it - although I literally just have.
When I called the locksmith out and he said he could either drill the lock in (£125 and drastic, considering my housemate would be back in several hours) or attempt to pick it, I jumped at the latter. Needless to say the jovial, plump little polish locksmith had no luck even with my practiced and experienced supervision and we had to admit defeat. This all tells me two things... One, our house is impenetrable and two, failure at picking locks is not such a bad thing.
Next week I shall learn and perform a song using wine glasses.
As a human we can not remember so many things.Some time it is possible that we forget where we keep our keys .Reason is that may be we are too busy.lock picking is important skill set for such people. People can open locked chests and doors without any damage.
ReplyDeleteWill it is great that you are trying lots of new things this year! I have tried lock picking and it is very hard, I cant get it. I guess that is why we have those whose profession is locksmith pickering, so we can get in locked cars and such. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteWhen searching for lockpicks try to buy individual picks from the organization you select first if at all possible,simply because should you choose much like me and lots of other peoples you'll find yourself investing a lot of money for five picks that you'll really use and like 20 other filler picks that you will never use.
