I just realized that some of the retailers around here use these locks.
I haven't tested it yet, but it seems really quick... quick enough to use with no one noticing.
Hmmm......

Quick pick for combination locks
I just saw this on YouTube.
https://youtu.be/UhNvC38C2FU
The pick he shows is really thin, but I think he said it will work with them hooks that come in lockpick sets.
Takes like 2 seconds.

I guess maybe the old ninjas never had a big problem with clouds. I doubt torches and candles can make the clouds glow the same way city lights do.

I just love how available and cheap black is. Often times I see the same piece of gear pricier in camo than in black. And plus Black's my favorite color.
