Romance is dead

Amateurs. you need deadbolts. Unpickable, and you'd need to break down the door. Not enough mass in a 5-year old body to do that.

Haha - I hate to break it to you, but most deadbolts are insanely easy to pick. Basically, if it came from Lowe's or Home Depot, it can likely be picked in a matter of seconds.

This is something I know a little bit about, so I'll take a minute or two to enlighten you... Cheap locks are cheap for a reason. (Oddly enough, sometimes a lock can be so cheap that it actually makes it harder to pick - but then it also fails when you try to use the key on it, so there...)

If you're actually concerned about pick resistance on your door locks (most people aren't), go to a locksmith and go with their recommendation. Schlage Everest Primus or similar on the lower end, and Abloy Protec2 on the upper end. The Abloy truly is as close to unpickable as you're going to get - as in, there are no documented cases of one having been picked. That level of security isn't cheap though - $200+ for a single cylinder.

That's a box though, not just a wrapper - I'd have to think there were more than one in there. Not sure if that qualifies as an "urge", lol. Planning may have been involved.

Kids, I'm sure - especially since they chugged a Coke first, instead of cheap beer.

Hey, at least they used protection, right?

...and here I thought you were foot tapping under the stall.
