    I’ve watched too much LPL and feel your rage. But yeah, your typical locksmith doesn’t give a shit and is on a schedule. Fastest way into a lock is gonna be drilling it or going around it.

      The worst part is that it was a job-box we were locked out of. There were probably 4 drills and numerous other tools to destroy the lock and get inside.

      Yeah, I have a pick, but when I need into a lock what I have is bolt cutters. Sure I’d love to get better and be able to throw open a lock with ease, but when in doubt I don’t trust myself enough to buy a padlock that resists bolt cutting.

      I will say though, my U lock I got for $15 and accidentally let rust to uselessness took a remarkable amount of effort to bypass. No angle grinding, but it took some serious dremeling and a pair of cheater bars with the cutters
