It really annoys me to think that any moron can pick up a rock from my garden
and then break the window and enter my house.

It reallys annoys me to think that any moron can buy a glass cutter and go
silently through my window much faster then picking a lock.

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you.  Buy
an internal security system and sleep at night.

It has always been my opinion at least that a lock, security system, etc.
is not going to keep a person who knows what they are doing out of anything.
A professional thief will be able to beat just about anything you put
against him/her without real difficulty.

(Again IMHO) The idea for the locks on a house, car, etc. is to slow down
the thief, not really to stop him. If you can slow the person down enough,
that increases the chances of him either being spotted, cought, or even
giving up and finding easier pickings.

As always, feel free to disagree.

   I've heard that the five-button combination locks are pretty tough to
get through.  Are there ways of getting through them (other than riping the
lock off or breaking down the door)?  How many possible combinations do these
things have?

Hello I'm new to this newsgroup.

So this is probably a FAQ. If so please forgive me.
How should I go about picking gumball machine locks?
Are they wafer of pin tubler locks?  What is the best (cheapest - I don't
own a lock pick set) type pick to use?  What technique should I use?
Can I use this technique to close the lock back, or at least make it
look like it was never opened?  Lastly, is this difficult to do?

Thanks for any help, I'm new at this.

	Besides which, it's not going to work with a good percentage of real 
tubular locks.  Jesus, people, if it comes to that, a 6' iron bar will snap 
most Krypto style locks.  If you're trying to snap the lock on a vending 
machine, you are definitely a vandal.  
	Who here would pay somone to break down their door after they lost 
their house key?  Ripping the lock core out of a vending machine or a bike lock 
makes the thing pretty much useless.  Sean's right- please try and keep the

break into things, start "alt.theft".

Any dweeb can learn to pick locks, but it does take some practice.  I would
call a local Locksmith and ask what they stock.  Medeco and Kaba Locks are
nearly impossible to pick.  But while doing that you should make sure that
the rest of your house is secure (It doesn't help to have a deadbolt in a
steel door and frame - with a glass window that can be broken and they can
just reach in).  Also remember fire hazards - the most secure lock is a
deadbolt with a lock on both sides, but that would lock you inside in a fire.
And if someone wants to get in, unless you want to spend thousands, it might
be better to leave the lock  simple instead of risking vandalism.

	You're forgetting that alcoholism is a disease, whether a mental or
physiological addiction...having a good experience isn't going to affect the
alcoholic's drinking -- he will still need alcohol to function.

Well I have. Ended up in the mental hospital for 6 days. I'll spare you
the details but let me just say this. After you trip if you can't sleep
immediatley take a heavy dose of a OTC sleep medication. This is mentioned
in the faq but I hadn't noticed it and didn't follow it's advice. Also if
you have intimate relationships with someone who is ambivalent or paranoid
about drugs - do it in secret. These people can bring you down hard. I won't
do LSD again. For me, in my life situation, the risks are too great.

I suggest giving up on drinking it, and just cooking something good to eat.

During the year I spent in Australia in my wild and reckless youth :-), I
shared a house with a bunch of guys who smoked a *lot* of dope. Their dealer
had a black Lab named Noddy. His house was perpetually full of smoke, and
whenever I saw the dog he was flaked out on his side, bloodshot eyes open,
the only sign of motion the tip of his tail wagging when you walked into the 
room.

This was hardly the dog's choice, and while he didn't seem to be objecting,
he was overweight and lethargic, so it couldn't have been doing him any good.

The dealer, by contrast, was underweight and hyper. He did deal LSD, among
other things, but I have no idea whether he ever gave it to the dog. We had 
two cats in our house, unneutered males, but I'm happy to say nobody ever gave 
them any drugs of any kind.

	Your post is an obvious joke.  ha ha ha. 
 
	LSD stands in english for d-lysergic dythalide or something.
The "S" stands for the german word for "acid", since it was originally
named there.  LSD is very difficult to synthesize without much money
and equipment and knowledge.  It is probably even more difficult to
synthesize into accurate doses.  I have neither the knowledge nor the
inclination to do either so you might ask somebody with more know-how
and a better sense of humor than me.

It is not to surprising that any crypto. code falls under such stringent
rules.  The Intelligence Agencies of the US have had long standing policies
to not only dicourage but prevent the development of superior cryp. tech.
Excusses of national security are used, but much pressure comes from the
FBI that any such code available to persons of the USA can be easily broken
by them, i.e. so they don't have to work too hard to spy on US citizens or 
they are at least guarenteed the ability to be able to break any code in
a reasonable amount of time.

I don't work in the field, so perhaps what I've said is BS.  I've only heard
it by word of mouth, but neither would I expect to see widely distributed
as an official policy.  Of coarse, with the FBI pushing for digital phone
tapping equiptment (with remote login capability) to be placed in the 
phone co's shitching crates...
