Crooks, Lock Picking

Crooks is a well done crime caper. There's some lock picking and safe cracking and we get to watch the inside of a couple of locks while our hero he is oepning them. The first one is an office safe which has some kind of fancy lock. Never mind fancy, Charly pulls out his drill and endoscope and gets to work. Will he get it open before they are discovered? Dum, de dum dum. Here's a video of a similar operation, sans suspense.

Towards the end of the show they make a copy of a key that helps them escape using the same technique as our beloved Lock Picking Lawyer uses in this video:

Once the ersatz key is finished we get to see it in operation, kind of like this video, but with a great deal more suspense.

Great show. This lock picking stuff was just a bonus.
