\ntrying to pick the lock of a … wheelcap! It seems Rolls Royce
\nwheelcaps<\/a> are popular amongst collectors and thieves, and Rolls Royce
\ndecided to put a semi-serious lock on them. And the owner of the Rolls
\nlost his keys, calling my poor friend to help.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The locksmith found out the hard way it was not easy to pick. I even
\nhad difficulties with it when the cap was on the table. The sad part
\nis he agreed a low price before picking the lock, since the owner was
\nnot willing to spend any money on it. Typical behavior of rich people
\n(but that is another story).<\/p>\n

The poor locksmith never thought it would take him two hours to open
\nthat silly little lock. When he opened it, he took it back to his
\nshop to make a key to open the other three wheelcaps. He will try
\nimpressioning, and if that does not work he will disassemble the lock.<\/p>\n
When my friend told the story I asked him to get the wheelcap from his
\nvan to make some pictures for this weblog. At the time I thought it
\nwas a great story. When I woke up the next morning (afternoon) I had
\nan headache and was less enthusiast about this ‘great story for the blog’.<\/p>\n
