Window Lockpicking

I have analyzed my double hung sash lock windows for some time now. Have used pencil and paper to engineer a tool to reach inside and unlock the sash locks but until recently I have finally created a tool that might just work. Might just because I haven't tested it on a window yet. Really because I ...

Tripwires, Ashes, And paint canisters

TRIPWIRES: May be thin steel wire, fishing line, or paracord. I recommend fishing line that matches the color of the environment, is strong and taut enough to withstand 200+Lbs of tensile stress, and is flexible enough to be tied around things. Tripwires are a classic means of delaying enemies, elim...

Re: escape tool

It all depends on the surface. If your throwing 3/8 ball bearings with lubricant in a grassy environment like a park or rear of a building to escape, they may not be much of a hindrance to someone or a group of someone's chasing you on foot. On smooth surfaces, like tile floors, smooth carpet, or st...

Re: Crypsis

Throw a rock at a tree. Stay completely still and wait for their head to be turned the other way as they move onto the next area. If they come closer, stay completely still. Mimic the environment around you. If its still and quiet, be that way. Move only when your surroundings are not attune. Loud a...

Operative Vehicle

The idea of a "work van" that could be brought along on highly illegal operations(hypothetical thefts, hypothetical grand thefts and hypothetical break ins) came to me not long ago when I was reading some articles about some thieves getting arrested by the police in the UK because they let their hea...

Re: Look who has the keys

They are effectively a lockpick and tensioner. Many people will call them tryout keys or auto rockers but depending on what size and profile the lock "favors", many locks can be opened. While keeping a constant turning pressure or tension as you would with a tension wrench, you rake and rock. Hopefu...

Look who has the keys

TO YOUR; Car,House,Shed. Jiggler keys are great lock bypass tools. I consider them rakes but quicker and a good choice if you are in a safe position to spend minutes tampering with a lock. Quiet, effective. Does anyone think lockpicks are better than bypass tools or is a mix the better option IMG_20...
