Scary stuff

That's nuts. My in-laws have been telling us about break-ins at their church - alarm companies calling them at 3AM about break-ins, no sign of forced entry. I wonder if this has anything to do with it...

Thanks Drew for the heads up.

As BigMacFU mentioned bumping has been around awhile. It started to really gain prominince publicly in The Netherlands where a group of guys there do lockpicking for fun. Thats where they uprooted the technique and were shocked to discover that it worked on almost every lock available. Looks like it is just making it over here in terms of use I guess. A year ago no North American bumping sets were available. (I know, I tried to get one for our team here at work)

EDIT: Also, Insurance companies will almost never pay if you get robbed in this fashion since there is no evidence of a break in. Sad to say but you are better off smashing your own window if you are the target of a bumping robbery. The insurance companies are living in the past sadly. Not that I recommend fraud.
