    Nah most locks do their job at keeping the average car thief or other assholes out, the locksmiths have lost of experience and special tools that aforementioned people don’t have.

      You mean the special tools you can buy on scamazon for 12.99 plus shipping?

      Or directly from LPL now…heck I even stumbled across the inflatable bags that you use to pry open doors for like 3.99 at crappy tire.

        The locksmith used exactly the bag you’re talking about. He knew just where to place it so the door was minimally torqued. No risk of damage to the vehicle that I could see. He then used a long stick through the small opening to unlock the door.

        Hi Amazon! It’s us, the feds! We were wondering if you know of anyone near a specific area buying certain tools that we’ve seen be used to break into cars?

      It’s not that hard and the tools can be bought at any auto store. It’s the factory alarm that is supposed to be the deterrent

        Tbf thieves don’t use these bags, they are perfectly happy to use a hammer. People like the bags for the legal entries because of the whole “not damaging the car” thing most customers of locksmiths are into.
