Apparently 90% of all mechanical key locks are useless because they can be unlocked with out damage within seconds.

there are kits you can buy for like $100 that will pick a lock from any car manufactuerer. Not to mention there is a book specifically called "the Secrets of Lock Picking"

That definitely is a worry.

It'd happen a week after you buy a brand new Plasma or LCD TV too!
