I called the OPD today to get stats on how many break-ins involve picked locks. The woman I spoke with was entirely unhelpful, saying something along the lines of "all break-in methods are comparably common".Google searches suggest that ~5-10% of burglaries nationally involve picked locks.On Wed, Feb 27, 2013 at 11:26 PM, Tommy York <tommy.york@gmail.com> wrote:
"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".-RustyOn Wed, Feb 27, 2013 at 7:31 PM, Anca Mosoiu <anca@techliminal.com> wrote:
