- mrweasel 2y agoTry going to YouTube and look for The Lock Picking Lawyer or McNally. Both are really skilled lock pickers, but the majority of the locks they review and demos does not require anything near their skills level to break. Half of all padlocks seems to be susceptible to comb picking, which require zero skill. It was apparently never difficult to break into buildings, physical security has always been pretty poor. Unless you have an armed guard patrolling your property, there's no real reason to believe it secured beyond the fact that most people weren't going to break in anyway, or simply can't be bothered.
