49 more love locks yesterday!

@alice 500 is impressive.
Though I *really* hope it’s not the case that each time you open one of these, the couple breaks up…
@michaelgemar nah, I only remove the locks of couples who were statistically likely to break up anyway

@alice@lgbtqia.space oh, I didn't see anything about that regarding McNally or Coverts Instruments

49 more love locks yesterday!
Which means over 500 in my collection now!
Which means over half way to the goal!

InB4 "Why do you steal love locks?"
1. The city considers them graffiti and abandoned property.
2. They cause damage to structures.
3. They rust away and become a hazard.
4. The city destroys them.
5. They're my friends, and I love them.
6. They're all going into a big museum art installation as a celebration of love and locksport.
@alice have you considered talking to the city so they call you instead of destroying locks?

The one marked 1994 is in good shape for almost 30 years.

@gkrnours I tried once—years ago—and no one could tell me who could sign off on that.

@w_b none of those are older than a couple months. That date is likely when they got together.

Alice there is a fence in the south bronx here with a TON of them and the school cuts them off every few years, which makes me sad but also the fence was sagging so...

@alice In my town we have a dedicated piece of old fence where people can attach their lovelocks, but they put a lot on the nearby bridge nevertheless. So in case you’re visiting Hungary, i might have a bunch for you to collect

Sweet that they are still together for 30 years.

@alice How do you pick the locks? Do they all have known vulnerabilities that you can exploit, or do you also have to break some locks?

@alice You use simple shims, lockpicks or something more percussive?

@futurebird I've never been to the Brox before, but maybe I should plan a love lock road trip someday.

@grischard aww, even hardened criminals deserve the bonds of love 🥺

@w_b yeah. I hope they're happy, and that they get to celebrate many more years together

@funqr I never break them (they're beautiful and I couldn't bring myself to hurt them).
*All* locks have vulnerabilities—some are just blatant, while others require a ton of skill to open.
Check out #LearnLockpickingWithAlice to see how I do it.
