    As a young and curious kid "about 8 years old" I attempted to replicate what I've seen in movies when they pick locks. My target was a masterlock. I took one of my sisters Bobby pins and just raked it all around the keyway as a complete novice would do. It opened to my surprise.
    So in a nutshell, even an 8 year old can pick a masterlock.

      As a young kid, I got curious about our neighbor's padlock that used those rotating knobs for password. I wasn't trying to rob them or anything, just was bored and started playing with it when no one was around. I was just dialing random numbers for a couple of minutes, when I noticed that some digits felt a bit different when you dial them. I knew absolutely nothing about locks, but just for fun, I set all the knobs to the digits that somehow felt different to me. And the lock opened. I actually got very scared as if I committed a crime, and ran away. I never got in trouble for that, so it's just a fun memory now.

The way it curves around the edges at a glance looked something like the cheap cammo duct tape I've seen at Walmart, and the bunching of black at the bottom at 1:45 looked like a haphazard taping job.
      While typing this comment, I looked it up and it is actually a cheap plastic shell that pops off. Amazon has them marked down to $9 from $14. The reviews are not great, referring to the cammo and weatherproofing not holding up well. There aren't any LPL related comments yet but sadly people will probably spam it with those in time.

      That saying has always been flawed to me. Because a truly honest person wouldn’t take something that’s not theirs regardless of whether it was locked or not.
      What it really comes down to is making it an inconvenience for your average thief. Sure LPL can open just about every bike lock he’s shown on here in seconds, but your average bike thief can’t pick any locks and will instead cut through chains, so getting a lock that is harder to cut is the best way to go.

    it'd be funnier if they didn't mail you any lock, so it seems as if it was perfectly camouflaged

    The envelope the letter came in is more secure than most masterlocks.

      Click on three and I got the envelope open, it was a tough challenge due to the sticky tape across the letter join. ( or in my case duct tape)..
