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".
