Is there such a thing as a lock-picking kit ?
The chick upstairs from me is never home, but her a/c is on full blast - hasn't stopped running for more than a few minutes time - over the last TWO WEEKS and sounds like a helicopter is parked on my bedroom ceiling.

GAWD !!!! I need some sleep!!!

Maintenance claims nothing's wrong with it. :wtf:


Thanks!

6. I prefer this

but I've always had a flair for drama.

In the meantime, I've found a box fan an essential item to drown out ambient noise. I used one for many years because I worked 12 hour night shifts, and that fan would drown out all ordinary noise during the day that might have kept me awake.

Or use earplugs. The soft rubber ones they sell in hardware stores are quite comfortable.

7. The old "here's Johnny."
Yes, I use the fan to drown out noise. Even in winter.

2. This might be effective


Sorry. I couldn't resist! :)

I think they're available, but man-o-man I'd never even think to use one. Breaking and entering is not a small potatoes beef.

4. Its not like I'd do anything other than turn the a/c off ...
...or adjust it so it doesn't run 24/7 ... she wouldn't even know anyone'd been inside.

I may be dumb but I ain't stupid. :silly:

5. The old black-bag operation. Don't forget your Ninja outfit.
I agree with H2S.....breaking and entering is a serious beef. Maybe you can turn her in to Homeland Security and ask them to turn the air off while they are doing their sneak-and-peek.

9. Yes
They make them for locksmiths to use.

I wouldn't use it though. I think that once she gets her electric bill she will turn it off herself. Problem solved!

10. Some states have restrictions on possessing lockpicks...
...you need to be a certified/licensed locksmith to possess them legally.

helpfully,
Bright

11. Locking.
Please contact your local police about the legality of the kits you are asking about.
