interesting clip. It reminds me of the soft plastic Bic pen in the barrel lock (typical lock used on "The Club", and various bicycle locks in the past) trick.
 
You can buy these bumps keys on the internet. A whole set of 10 or 11 keys costs about $30. There are some higher end locks that can't be bumped, so it might be prudent to install one of those...at least until the bad guys find another solution. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wall.gif

Sad state of affairs...
 
Alarm and a WEAPON... and I'm home 90% of the time. Hope I'm here when the first one tries it on. Tho I'm already regarded as the "crazy old Viet Nam vet" and several other ~oddball~ nomers by the locals. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif

A Browning A-5 12 Ga. Autoloader right handy! That is if the dog don`t get em first. If he does, I just sit and watch!
Oh I will call 911 when the dog is done, they can come cart what`s left away.
Crazy old Vet here too! UH-1 {Huey} crewchief {just another name for the "other" door gunner}
 
I have a Smith & Weston security system with a Browning backup. Only problem is, it's not automatically activated.

I'd like to have one of those. That or a P99 .45. Eclair's holding one in my avatar. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif
 
I had a .45 once. The burglars waited for the house to be empty before ransacking it. Luckily, they didn’t find the gun and I decided to sell it. I was amazed that a gated apartment complex could have a robbery in the middle of the day with no witnesses.
 
P-38! NATO official sidearm for DECADES. I guess they've changed now. Had one stolen from me Ol' Fella years ago. Had the "Reichstamp" on it. He "liberated" it from a Nazi Paratrooper back-when. That thing is gonna show up someday, I just know it.

.380 PPK-S here, and a l'il .25 for "other" things... have alternating loads in the Walther: hollow/solid/hollow alla way down.
 
Browning, 9 mm, straight from Cambodia. And I know it works, hehe.

Would feel naked without my good friend. You enlisted types didn't have all the fun.
 
Mossberg 12 ga. pump w/ deerslayer barrel and buckshot, hope it's never activated!
