Title: Kicked down my door
Post by: ataxicwolf on March 08, 2008, 12:05:47 PM
So a few days ago, I was locked out of my house. Normally this wouldn't be so bad, except my secret key wasn't in its secret hiding spot. I went down to my basement door in hopes that it would be unlocked but to no avail. I then though to myself how BA it would be if I did what I was about to do. I then pulled back my foot and kicked in the door. It broke the lock and the wood frame on the door split and busted open. It was totally cool, except now I have to buy a new door frame, and I also realize how easy it is for thieves with big feet.

...except now I have to buy a new door frame...

And a new lock. If your back up key wasn't in the hiding place, there's a chance someone found the key for a possible burglary. Or they took the key to a make a copy and is going to return the original.

You never know.

Epiphany. I just watched a few minutes of The Bone Collector on TV. There IS a movie with Queen Latifah that doesn't completely suck ass.

Is that the one where they're ambulance drivers that see ghosts or something?

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I broke down my own door last year.  I stepped outside to take out the trash and shut the door so the cat wouldn't run out, locking it out of habit.  I was barefoot and it was freezing out.  So I threw my shoulder against the door 3 times until it broke open.  Steel door, but the wooden frame split apart easily.  It made me think, "Shit, anyone could do that."

I think home security is pretty hopeless now.  Altalp has made me realize that all locks are futile.  There's really not anything you can do to keep people from breaking in.  Unless I want to buy an attack dog or something.  Which I don't.

Yeah a couple years ago I was mowing my lawn and some guy just walked around the back and broke the door with one push. I saw and asked what the fuck he was doing and he said that he'd seen somebody going in and that the other guy was still inside (pretty good idea actually, I'll have to remember that one).

Anyway I called the cops but he got away, though my nextdoor neighbor who is a physically handicapped veteran jumped into his truck and chased him down the block which was pretty sweet.

I wish Canada had Texas' breaking and entering laws, I bet that'd let the cops get back to solving all these pesky murders that our incredible gun laws haven't managed to stop.

yeah picking locks is too easy nowadays.

Picking locks is fun, but unless you're a bored hax0r/secret agent/industrial espionage guy, and in fact a crackhead/b&e enthusiast, you're more likely just to shove the damn thing til it breaks.

Yeah i kinda had the cops called on me one time for trying to get into my own house.  ??? My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself.

I locked myself out of my house when I was a kid once so I broke a basement window and climbed in.  Then I found a nice sized rock and set it on the floor in the basement so it would look like some hooligan threw a rock through our window.  It worked!

Same thing happened to me, only I kicked it in and stuck my arm in to flip the latch like a real badass. Three months later, it's almost warm enough to take my coat off indoors now!

When I was a youngin, my big friend (6', 600lbs) swung our locked sliding glass door open just enough so I could enter. Not only was it locked, it had one of those "security" doohickeys on the track which, in theory, is supposed to prevent the door from sliding. He simply swung it back and forth forcing it to open little by little.

What the fuck does that have to do with Queen Latifah or kicking down doors ???

It actually does have something to do with kicking down door technically. Since this thread is basically about trying to get into your own house.
