How to Pick a Lock

I wish I had this information back when I locked the keys inside my car; it would have come in extremely handy. I'm not sure this is actually of any use to the criminal element, who seem to have abandoned the finer illegal crafts these days in favor of a more brute force approach with a crowbar. Anyway, for the rest of us, it's good to be aware that this information is out there on the Web, sponsored by a major university. You'll find detailed descriptions of lock mechanics, lock-picking from the beginning to the advanced level, and exercises to help you perfect your picking technique.
