[color=#1af]So, I've been somewhat interested in lockpicking lately.. for undisclosed reasons :P and I was wondering if any of you guys have ever messed with this or anything? I'm not talking about the ghetto stick a bent up paper clip in a lock thing, I'm talking about with tools and stuff. Do you guys know of any good lockpicking kits, etc..? Kind of a fun topic, imo.[/color]

Obviously you never played Splinter Cell or Oblivion. Knife is better than a paper clip if you want quick and simple but loud. :P

[color=#1af]If I get into this, I will buy an actual lockpicking kit, and learn to use it properly. It seems like it would be fun, and useful at times (more times if you don't mind doing illegal activities). Do any of you [i]not[/i] prefer the Falcon Kick to traditional lockpicking? :P[/color]

My friend is in a Lock picking club and has all these weird lock picking gadgets. He's gotten so good at lock picking, he's even ordered handcuffs to play around with. And so everytime we're around him and not paying any attention, he would throw a handcuff on us and be like "HA GOTCHA!" and we'd be like at his mercy.
