"OAKLAND -- One skill that appears all too common in Oakland these days is
the ability to pick a lock. Burglaries jumped more than 40 percent last
year, and not all of them involved window smashes."
This is a horrific excuse for journalism. Not all burglaries involved
window smashes? Oh really? And in that case, how many involved skilled lock
picking?
Mencken would be angry.

Oh dear gawd. This is possibly the most moronic
piece of "journalism" I
have ever seen.
Are they unaware of the fact that you can go to a lock-picking
school(actually it teaches you way more), and that this is just a cheaper
version of that? (see: http://www.lock411.com/training.html).
Also, virtually no crime in Oakland involves skilled lock-picking,
because it's a waste of time.
Don't worry though, you can train in deadly martial arts, go to the
shooting range, and buy ninja swords just about anywhere in Oakland, but
picking a Masterlock is "appalling".

Hi everyone,
Heads up. Looks like some folks aren't too happy that people are
learning how to pick locks this weekend.
