Great way to steal a car or get quick cash.

Ive tried this to a lot of different locks and i can do it under 10secs (sooo easy)

After I saw this I was walking out of my car and heading to the gym and noticed a guy walking away from his 7 series BMW. I went to the locker room noticed the guy throw his keys, wallet and what not into the locker and locked it and proceeded to go workout. I thought about how easy it would be for me to just do this real quick and take everything out of it and lock it back up. There are no cameras and low amount of people in the my locker rooms at my gym(24 hour fitness) Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

[nostrumfiend]

As long as you don't act sketchy most would assume it's your locker and belongings I bet. Did he leave the keys to the locker somewhere or keep them with him?

Edit: watch out for GPS/onstar if you steal it.

[Jack The Ripper]

yeah i don't think i would steal a car maybe just some cash and credit cards. You need to show your license and gym membership card when you go into the gym so i assume everyone (including me) has there wallets in a locker. and he did throw his keys in the locker with everything else.

[nostrumfiend]

if you don't think you would steal a car then what are you asking suggestions for?

im asking suggestions about if there are any defects in my plan or other things I should lookout for.

[nostrumfiend]

for just stealing wallets?

do people keep the keys on them for the lockers or what

[Jack The Ripper]

No dude there combos

[molotov in the mornin]

if I was 13 again I'd try that out.

not being 13 I feel inclined the call the OP a faggot

[Jack The Ripper]

just need advice on this

[ComradeRock]

The only problem I see is if the lock is of higher quality. Most high quality combo locks have some sort of anti-shimming feature. Usually it is just a really blocking locking mech. The way around it is to slide your shim in on the side, pull it all the way down and then turn it in.

[jono]

i was thinking about this the other day if u had the confindence then yeah u could pull it off with ease.....maybe i should join a gym

[Trix Are For Kids]

Is it a combo Masterlock? If it is, you can just pop off the back.

[crizzlE]

case ur victims tho. make sure they have long workout plans, and jack ipods n shit out of their cars

Shut up bitch, you're probably like 16.
This is actually a good way to get some serious cash
Most gyms will give you a free trial for like a week or something. Ask for a free trial. If you don't know how to use a shim (op's video) then you can still get the locks off. Just get some heavy duty bolt cutters, and put them in a duffell bag.
Go in when it's late, make sure there's no one else in the locker room. Then go to work with the bolt cutters. Take money from wallets, watches, cell phones, etc. If some one comes in, hide the cutters, and pretend like it's your locker(pray it's not theirs). And if you wanna go all out, grab the keys, and take whatever is in their car.

[anonym0us]

I would go in, change with a buddy (lots of people work out with friends) and have him stand guard at the door, or two buddies if there are two doors. Go in at seperate times and leave at seperate times. Don't go right out after the deed(s) are done, stay for the workout. Most places have cameras right outside and they will investigate once shit gets reported.

This is old as fuck. Fucking newfags.

problem with this plan-the bolt cutters- this is much more obvious then the shim with the shim other people wont notice that the locker have been open at all so only the ppl whose locker u have opened will know a crime has been commited and report u

other things i have thought about do u need ID to sign up for a gym/free trial coz that would make u a pretty clear suspect but i guess u could pass off a shitty homemade ID at gym (check on Totse....wait NOOOOOOOOO!!!) and if u could rip off say 15 wallets in 15 minutes (more if u had a friend with u) and then bail it would dramatically decrease your chances of getting caught but leaving the gym after 15mins would look weird i dunno maybe fire exists (not alarmed) would work what r ppls thoughts?

so is pickpocketing and burglary are they bad ideas as well? just coz an idea is old doesn't make it a bad idea.

This shouldn't be too hard to commit. Two people, buy membership at a gym with fake address and whatever. They both go to the gym at the same time dressed as if they will work out (maybe wearing wigs) and they act like they don't know each other. One guy should have a somewhat big gym bag. When the lockers are clear, one guy goes outside the locker room to check for anyone nearby, and then he puts up a paper-sign that says "Maintance underway" and that guy stays out there and for everyone that comes by, he tells them "the lights blew up in there and there are 2 guys working on it inside and told me I can't enter" and look like you're waiting and the people will line up with you. Meanwhile, the guy inside changes into maintance cloths (helmet and bright-orange jacket and jeans) and uses a bolt cutter that was inside the big gym bag, cuts open as many lockers as possible and steals wallets and car keys, whatever, in a short period of time stuffing it in the big bag. After like 3 minutes or something, the maintance man walks out of the locker room and tells the people in line "wait for the other guy to come out before going in" and walk away, making an escape. The bag he has should have stickers on it or something looking like it was his workbag. Ignore anyone who tries to stop you, maybe saying "yeah the work is done" or whatever. After you leave, probaly 2-4 minutes, the people waiting outside the locker room will decide to go in, and find a mess. The guy who was the first in line will act like a victim, and then maybe run out looking for the maintance guy but in reality is gonna run.

End result: clean getaway, lots of credit cards and cash, cell phones, car keys and house keys, etc. Sure people will be super suspicious that they can't enter the locker room and the maintance man has a big bag but it's unlikely anyone will act out; maybe ask questions, but not do anything big.

This is all hypothetical and made up right now to maybe inspire ideas in my zokleteers on how to do such an endeavor.

What I'm saying is that the shim shit is so widely known, and has been since it was on i-hacked YEARS ago:

http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/189/48/
http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/243/48/

There's countless youtube videos on it, and it pretty much falls under "common knowledge." It's not worth an entire thread about it. Maybe in a B&E guide or something similar it could be mentioned, but this thread is so unnecessary.

1. the bolt cutters wont be obvious if you put them in a duffell bag, and also put gym clothes in there too. Yes, a shim would be ideal, but if the locks are more sophisticated, you're gonna have to go with bolt cutters.
2. you do need an ID for a free trial, but why make a fake? As long as no one sees you, they cant PROVE you stole anything from anywhere.
3. you don't need to grab n go. Stay for the workout, it will look A LOT less suspicious.

Dude, this isn't Mission Impossible

I'd get the hell out of there ASAP. As soon as one guy goes in and says all of his shit is missing, the locker room is going to be full of assholes. Also they'll be looking at him a bit weird with a huge military sized duffel bag full of shit :3dsmile:

[Bender]

Hahah steal a car?

[Trix Are For Kids]

Get out before it is too late!

[GermanyOrFlorida]

If you just go in the locker rooms for 10 or 15 minutes and leave, you are gonna be the number 1 suspect when everyone reports their shit missing.
Go in, make sure it's empty, do your thing, get your workout on, and when you're done, go complain to the front desk that YOUR shit got stolen too.

[akaNoFeaR]

just a newbie here thinkin to do the same thing as this guy but wondering even if you get credit cards how the hell are you supposed to take advantage when you done have their four digit pin id and how can you use it without them knowing who you are or where you shipped it to (if you ordered something online)??????? Don't critisize for asking this lol

but yeah dude this seems like an okay thing to be doin as long as you act casual. If someone asks you what the fuck your doing with boltcutters or a shim, just say you forgot your key or combo and your trying to get your locker open (just pray it isnt their locker lol)

[clare]

All short cutter never successful.Long term efforts produced long lasting results.
