      Same goes for anything “locked” with a zipper that still moves. One can open the zipper with a pen, go through your belongings without you knowing, then close it back up with the zipper. Atleast buy a case with zippers that lock into place.

      Yesterday I had to open a couple of cabinets at work after the keys went missing. I only watched a few YouTube videos and I figured how to open them with my Swiss army knife.

      The first one took over an hour. The rest of them took a few seconds. I was amazed how easy it was.

      They often reuse the same keys a LOT.

      Some of the most common ones that fit a bunch of stuff are: Ch751, C415A.

      You could also just buy a bunch on eBay, Amazon or whatever.

      I figured out one of those locks when I was eight. Used to unlock the freezer with a paperclip

      Locks are to keep your friends out. If you don’t trust the shittiest dude in your building, don’t leave your stuff in your office.
