I can't wait to see the big shoot-out at the end, after you've picked the lock on the contessa's chastity belt and she's handed over the ledger.

That's not the end - we have to get to the moon base first!

Oh wow, yes!
I'd forgotten that that was where the cryptographic keyboard was, that can only be tampered with with specialist (but pocket-sized) tools!

I would understand if you said that you two got to first base or second base, but where does moon base fit in? Is it after home run?

The home run was in the opening credits - you did watch them, didn't you?

The big question is why,
Has Mrs O bought her self a chastity belt or just a lock for the fridge?

No, I just caught a couple of "lockpickinglawyer" vids on YouTube, and found them strangely compelling. And it's a subject that I knew absolutely nothing about, so it piqued my interest. It escalated from there ... now I have a set of picks, a bunch of learning locks, have made a few wiper tensioners for top tensioning, and keep looking at HUK "lock dismantling" kits because "that E-clip removal tool looks really good". 
Herself is under the impression I'm about to start collecting locks.

Right...
That sounds very convincing.
My bet is still the fridge!

It's kinda difficult to explain, but it's fascinating to watch someone who really knows what they are doing, doing what they do best. It's the "unconscious competence" that they demonstrate, I suspect. It's what taught me to change motorcycle tyres, fix their engines, rewire the electrics, etc. ...
You never lose anything by watching a master at work, and you might learn something.

Very true. Some very useful and practical skills to learn.
Maybe I should learn a new skill, like "Robbing A Bank"
But where could I use that. Hmmm

I have the same fascination watching a master potter at work, pisses the wife off no end as I am happy to stand a watch for hours if we go to a potter that allows onlookers.

It appeals to my sense of humour. 
Unfortunately it is also very true. Whatever I do I gotta pay...

Most thieves don't pick locks - they smash a window, or force a door. It's easier, quicker and requires less skill. Locks are there to deter the honest!

That's a coincidence, I saw a video recently of a guy picking a lock ( can't remember where though ) and it too piqued my inquisitive nerdy head - I've ordered a cheap beginners set of tools from Amazon - new page on this site maybe ? Lockpickers Q & A
