- A couple of years ago, a friend of mine told me a way of opening a master lock
- (combo or key, Im unsure) with a hammer and some pantyhose. From what I
- understand, you tie the U end of the lock to the pantyhose and let it dangle
- and tie the other end to something solid. When you strike the lock with the
- hammer, the elasticity of the pantyhose is supposed to have the right frequency
- (something like a spring constant, I guess) to open the lock.
-
- Anyone know if this is true?
