Currently I took the time to relax a little and read some books. These
\nbooks are all in Dutch, except for one I recently bought at the German
\nlockpick championships. It is a German book by Manfred G\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00b6th named
\n‘Werkzeugspur’ ISBN 3-00-004285-7<\/a> (rough translation: ‘tool traces’).<\/p>\n

Manfred is the only non government independent forensic specialist in
\nGermany and he is well respected for that. I had the pleasure of
\nmeeting him once and he is really a knowledgeable person. This also
\nshows in his book. In it are many close up images of locks and pins.
\nTraces almost not visible with the naked eye all of a sudden become
\ncrystal clear if he uses special electron microscopes to zoom in on
\nthe subjects. The book is filled with images like the one below.<\/p>\n

(electron microscope image of a pin with\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0unusual marks on it)<\/p>\n

\"werkzeugspur\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Manfred made it clear that almost any non-destructive opening can be
\nidentified by people with the right forensic knowledge and tools. He
\nis also capable of identifying if a lock was bumped open or not and
\ndoes this on a regular basis for insurance companies and their clients.<\/p>\n

It could be coincidence or not, but over the last few weeks three
\nindependent people asked me to look at their legal case against their
\ninsurance company. One car theft where the insurance company claims
\nthe car is so well protected it is impossible to steal. Just googling
\nfor the brand and model I found at least 3 ways to steal that car…sigh.
\nOne case was a burglary where probably a bump key was used and the
\ninsurance company does not want to pay and one bizarre case where an
\nelectronic locking system was bypassed one way or the other.<\/p>\n
