I got this link today from the coordinator for the Orlando Police Neighborhood Watch:
Laura M. Velez
Neighborhood Watch Coordinator
Orlando Police Department
100 S. Hughey Avenue
Orlando, Florida 32801
Tel.(407) 246-2644/Fax (407) 246-4227
ALL CITIZENS SHOULD SEE THIS REPORT:
http://www.peiferlock.com/alert-bump-keys.htm
The news report says something like 90% of all locks out there can be picked using the "bump" method. Padlock, deadbolt or even automotive locks.
The scary part is that the instructions are ALL OVER the internet. Within 5 minutes of watching the above link, I had found a PDF document with complete instructions about how to make my own "bumper key" and several sites where they can be purchased outright.
Be aware that locks no longer protect your belongings!!!!
With the sad state of theivin' and robbery out there today, this is not a good thing!!! And I don't feel bad about posting about it here because it's already out there and spreading. Before too long, it'll be common knowledge among scumbags and low-lifes.
step up the security folks. :? :? :?
