bumpkey
Time to invest for better locks if you have one that's vulnerable for bumpkey.

    I'm gonna sound like a complete n00b (because I am), so forgive me...

    ...Are car locks vulnerable to that method as well?

    This is simply disgusting...

    Thanks for providing the info though.

    What deserves to be done, deserves to be "well" done...

    Not sounding any more noob than I was when I saw that first, most of us dont have lockpicking as hobby. Far as I understand that only pin tumbler lock   are vulnerable for that. Don't think any new car use such anymore (maybe some old do, cant confirm).
     
    Most people where I live use abloy (.pdf) locks that use disc tumbler lock  mechanism.
    I would suggest you check if your lock is one of these pin tumbler locks before worry about it.

    Some good info here  like "investigation by the author has determined that millions of public
    and private rented postal
    boxes are at risk because they can be easily opened with a bump
    key",     so I would watch out where you leave your bag when traveling.

    Just buy a normal key, do with it as they say on that video and bam, you have one.

    That way breaks the lock.

    Use a piece of bent sprung steal. A hairpin is an excellent and readily available tool. As log as it is shaped roughly like this, it will work.

    Jaguar cars used to use a vacuum lock. Simply pushing a tennis ball up agaisnt the lock and punching it recreated the suction to spring open the doors.

    From what I understood a Bump key is a normal key but with the cuts(those gaps between the dents) cut to the maximum depth... I think


    Is this real? It could be a fake, or not? Interesting anyway...

    According to the lock smith, it did not. There was left no trace after it, hence there was alot of unhappy insurance customers.
