What about locked public infrastructure? Theoretically that's your property (as much as it is everyone else's). You've probably paid for a percentage of it with your tax dollars.Oldfart wrote:Once, in a galaxy far far away known as Toronto I went to a lock picking class. Yes, such a class existed, just once.
So I understood the theory, and was handed a pick, a torsion wrench (made from a street-sweeper blade as all classic ones are) and a padlock. The first time it took me about 3 minutes, then 30 seconds and then when explaining how to do it to a fellow explorer (None other than Ninjalicious himself) I surprised both him and me by doing it in less than 4 seconds. That thing just popped open on the first rake. I was like "Well I didn't expect it to be that easy." Jeff just gave a evil stare but we both laughed.
But other than that I have not done lock picking since. My moral code and ethics says if it is locked, then I'm not supposed to be in it. I'll explore abandoned buildings, ones covered in trees and so on, but well if they're clearly someone's property, I find it is just wrong to go entering them. Its like my home or car, I wouldn't want someone in them, and I have enough respect to not enter other people's personal space.
Awesome story by the way.
