Car Keys Locked Inside by Joe Ratzkin
While backing out of your garage or even just your driveway this morning, you surely managed to leave some scratches on your car. Not only that but after a couple of miles, you seemed to have ran out of gas. Luckily, you were near a gasoline station and were able to fill up your fuel tank.
However, it seems luck has fled from your side for the day. After filling up, you were able to drive for some distance when a tire of your car went flat. Of course, you had to change the tire yourself. And while you were at it, you noticed that the hubcap you purchased along with some Pontiac auto parts http://www.rushcarparts.com/pontiacparts.html seemed to have fallen somewhere between your current location and your garage. Because you were already late for your work, you hurriedly grabbed your things and rushed out to catch the elevator.
Tough luck. Now that you need to use your car to drive back home, you just realized that in your hurry, you forgot to take your car keys with you. And they are just where you left them - inside your car. You may not be a locksmith, but if you own a car that has been created before the 1980s or if you may have left a window of your car slightly open, you may have just the slightest chance of opening the car yourself.
You do need a wire hanger to do this challenge. Straighten the hanger out and then bend an end. Make sure you form a hook or even a triangular handle. This would serve as the extension of your hand in breaking into your own car. You can also try opening a window through prying. Just use a putty knife and slip it between the window and the door.
When you have part of the window open, slip the wire hanger you bent through it. Your task would be to actually move the hanger through your car and try to pull the door lock open. This may be quite difficult but it can be achieved.
Now, if you own a newer car model, well, the best move for you would be to actually call a locksmith and let him do the work.

Title: Lock Bumping and Home SecurityAuthor: Brandon McVeyArticle:
When I first heard of this 'lock bumping' I did a littleresearch and come across websites, clubs, and conventionsdesigned specifically for lock picking - folks that consider ita sport. Come to find out that it stems from Sir Isaac Newton'sformulations around 1650, brought together by a locksmith inDenmark about 25 years ago, and started picking up steam in2004, 2006 and today when at DEFCON 14, an 11 year old girl withno prior training opened a locked door in seconds using thismethod. News starts to spread quickly. The technique is reallyquick and will work on 90% of locks you'll come across.There are billions of these locks in the world and they come inall sizes, configurations, and security ratings. Some aresecure; most are not, and even some high security ratedcylinders can be easily compromised. All that is required toopen many types of pin tumbler cylinders -- the kind of lockthat probably keeps the bad guys out of your home -- is a bumpkey and a tool for creating a bit of force. With these two cheapimplements, anyone -- and I do mean anyone -- can get into yourhome or business in a matter of seconds You would need to create a bump key, also know as a 999 key.This is made by cutting down a key (that fits the lock) to thedeepest setting. Then a little bit of metal is removed from thetip of the key and the shoulder. You insert the key into thelock and because of the removed metal you can give the key alittle whack and the key will travel slightly farther into thekey way driving the pins vertically. That's it! These blank 999 keys are being sold on EBay, and lessons arebeing played on Utube and Google Video. Lock bumping is a new -old problem that presents itself for home security. If someonewants to learn how to do this, they can look it up easy enough.That information will not be shared here, except to educate thepublic. To add insult to injury, according to statistics provided by theNational Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) and the Department ofJustice, all most 2 out of every 3 break-ins occur with no signof forced entry. These bump keys leave no trace of use, so thatInsurance companies will deny your claim if there is no proof ofburglary. That, and the police report will not get very far.Just imagine coming home to a cleared out house and theinsurance company saying that there is no proof that there wasillegal entry - that you just left the door unlocked. While someof these crimes may be a result of an unlocked door, mostexperts agree that lock bumping, picking or use of anunauthorized duplicate key are often the case.If you have ever replaced the locks on your own doors, youprobably ran down to the Walmart, or nearest home improvementstore to purchase the locks. And you probably know the mostpopular locks out there, yet they are one of the mostvulnerable. Additional information and solutions has been puttogether at http://www.wulliebull2.com/security covering lock bumping andhome security in general.
