Double edged sword. I was into lock picking as a teen. When my family found ourselves in the same situation, I leapt into action and got the side door open in no time.

My mother freaked out at how easy it was to get into our house without a key, and went on an anxiety fueled journey of kitting the house out with extra security. It wasn’t a bad idea to up our security, but I felt horrible for stressing her out by trying to do a good deed.

    That is definitely a thing. When I got into it I repinned all our locks with a difficult bitting and added spools/serrated pins.

    ... All the while knowing that a burglar is just going to smash a window or kick in the door so I really just made it harder on myself ; )
