Every Little Helps......

I like the bit in the ad where it says it's not intended for illegal use!! Are they a bit dim at Tesco? I wonder how long it will take before it's pulled!

 

In all my years of DIY I have never felt the need for a lock picking tool, suppose they could go for a Christmas gift set to include crowbar and handy carry bag..

 

In the whole of my life so far, I have found two occasions when a failed lock or lost key has caused me an inconvenience. On the first such occasion, a hammer solved my problem (its amazing how many problems can be solved with a lowly hammer ), and on the second, when I accidentally sent my shed keys off with a car that was being scrapped, my hacksaw saved the day. I can't say I've ever stood looking at a problem, scratched my head, and thought, hmm, if only I owned a lock picking tool.

 

Well done Tesco!......Is it impossible for the people living in this supposed modern world of ours to think ahead, if at all!

 

I'm surprised the newspapers haven't picked up on this Not exactly good PR is it?

 

To be fair to Tesco, maybe they are just responding to their customer's needs. Since they started opening 24/7 so that the chavs could come in and top up on cheap lager at any time day or night, they realised that they have to get home somehow, and taxis are both expensive and difficult to get hold of on a Friday/Saturday night.

All Tesco need to add to their list now is some sort of universal immobiliser key and then it becomes a one stop shop for everything. Pop in, get cheap lager, lock pick and immobiliser key, nip out to the nearest parked car, and give yourself a lift home. Or if someone else's house is better than yours, say for example if the dealer you owe money to is coming round later and you don't want to be there at the time, just let yourself into someone else's house. Sorted.

 

The first thing I did to this house was fit 5 lever Chubb locks to the external doors (followed by a PIR security system) as cylinder locks are notoriously fallible. If you watch the youtube vids of just how quickly a cylinder lock can be picked I'm sure you will do the same.

 

It's probably time for an upgrade to get online alerts/viewing/door answering system.

 

I'm catching up with posts I missed while I was away ... seems it has now been pulled
