I noticed a rather largish box sitting outside on the job site today so I had to cut one of them open years ago with a gas axe. Bosses friend had moved into a new house and there was an old locked safe in there. Took me most of a day to get into it. Cut into the back plate to find it stuffed with sawdust that just sucked the heat away and made loads of smoke. After hacking away for hours I finally got the back off and most of the smouldering smoking eye and throat choking sawdust out and attacked the inner box, eventually got the safe open and guess what was inside? Yes that's right. **** all. Mark H Chief of the Fukarwee tribe (Hear us chant as we invade new territory "We're the Fukarwee, We're the Fukarwee) www.another-way.co.uk www.free-hypnosis.co.uk VMax
I think "bump" is the technical term. Depends on how you are doing it. You can use a bump key and bounce the pins up or you can use lock picks and work each pin individually. UK Yale type locks have five pins. You use a wrench to turn the barrel and hold the pins in place then lift each pin individually to the 'shear' point, then the lock opens. More reliable than 'bumping'. If the lock has been oiled at all it is much harder to bump because the oil stops the pins from 'bouncing'. Used to be a hobby of mine. Came in handy the other week when somebody lost the key to the key cabinet at work and we couldn't open any of the filing cabinets etc. I raked that one with a bent paper clip and a pair of desk scissors. Raking is another quick and easy technique that involves flicking all the pins at once by dragging a pick out of the lock quickly, much like bumping. The scissors were used to turn the barrel at the same time. Remember locking myself out of my own house some time ago when I was learning how to do this. My home made wrench snapped off in the barrel and jammed in the front door lock. Got in eventually of course - I had access to a bench grinder in the garage and made a pick to pick out the broken wrench. -- Mark H Chief of the Fukarwee tribe (Hear us chant as we invade new territory "We're the Fukarwee, We're the Fukarwee) www.another-way.co.uk www.free-hypnosis.co.uk VMax
I was flying an RC helicopter for what was BskyB years ago at site adjacent to Alton Towers. The director asked me to do an engine off landing into a field of corn (or something yellow and swaying anyway) making the heli disappear. No problems for the majority of the manoeuvre, but as the heli disappeared into the corn/wheat/swayie stuff, we all heard a loud crack. On investigation, the heli had indeed received a crack and it was from a fucking half buried safe in the middle of the field. I never found out why it was there or how it got there, although it as obvious it hadn't been "placed" there unless it was placed from a plane but it was well and truly stuck and it fucked up a decent radio set-up in the heli. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
