Have you ever picked a lock?
edit: a practice lock is any lock that you were picking purely for practice which was not securing anything. a lock in the wild is a lock that was in place to actually secure something (love locks count)

legal misunderstanding is resolved i'm going to start learning -

@eniko yeah, a (really really cheap) safe I had some documents I needed for the next day and I couldn't find the key, time for practicing the thing I watch on youtube! So I guess it counts as a practice lock.

@cygnathreadbare it was securing something so it's a lock in the wild

@eniko The front door (from the inside). I don't have a lock vise and tiny luggage padlocks are awkward...

@eniko
I get paid to pick locks in the wild. I'm essentially a professional burglar (locksmith), just call me Bilbo. -

@eniko A coworker managed to lose the key to his office drawer inside the drawer itself (I don't remember how), so I tried to pick it and succeeded (it was a fluke, I never managed to do it again even though it's a very low quality lock).
That time the card reader on the office maglock malfunctioned and the backup control was inside the office was more interesting. I had to cut a wire to get in (I chose a red one for tradition), don't know if it counts as picking a lock or not.

@eniko 100 years ago, @steggy was doing geology field research (ok, she’s not THAT old, but it was a long time ago). There were these sample stations in a state park and we were supposed to drive up an access road to get to them and collect some readings. The park officials knew all about this (it was in conjunction with the local university). They were supposed to leave the gate unlocked at the beginning of the access road. They didn’t.
So it was either a several mile hike on foot, leave and come back later, or I could just pick the master padlock on the gate. It’s a master padlock. C’mon. So, yeah, a few seconds later we had the gate open and we went and gathered the readings. Left the gate locked, just like we found it. This was ok because it was in the name of science!

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague about lockpicking it came up that they have never picked a lock. Like, not even once in their childhood.
Another colleague listening in admitted they also have never picked a lock.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life picked a lock.
Have you picked a lock?
Please boost for scientific accuracy.
