    Man that is some bad subtitling. TL;DW? Is it just a worse version of lock picking lawyer? I guess it isn’t a great idea to secure your property with a $40 Bunnings lock if so. Still surprising that one of those common locks can be defeated by a metal shim. I lost the key to a small lockbox I bought from Bunnings and “picked” the lock with the thin end of a zip tie. Criminals must love Bunnings based security.

      Purplepingers is an anti-landlord activist currently running for the Australian Senate with the Victorian Socialists party: https://pingers4parliament.com/

      He’s previously done a lot of ‘naming and shaming’ of landlords (https://www.shitrentals.org/) and compiled lists of unused properties that people could squat in.

      Reading between the lines, this video is encouraging people to fuck with properties rented out through Airbnb, or at least trying to mess with the heads of the ‘hosts’.

        I liked the comment under the video suggesting warning against the much easier method of sticking a bit of super glue in the mechanism.
