Warning
All attempts to misuse this i n formation are punishable. Do not open a lock which you are not allowed to, and do not break into another persons property. It is wrong and illegal. You will b e come a criminal through such an act, and must pay fines and damage fees, and could possibly go to jail. The people against whom you have co m mitted the act will make you unhappy. And it is dishonest!
Breaking open locks is a wonde r ful thing and the knowledge of how to do so need not be put to use for criminal acti v ity. To unlock doors is fun and you can, if your want to, make a living from it. Many people will be willing to pay for you to open their cars or apartments when they have forgotten or lost the co r rect key. For a criminal, it would only be possible to earn a fraction of the amount that a succes s ful locksmith could.
If you like to unlock cars, than you could work for a breakdown service or for a towing company, or offer such a company a partnership and work independently. Dont be shy about asking caretaking companies, sentries, or other instit u tions. These companies are always hiring part-time or even full-time emplo y ees.
The large department stores also mostly offer an auto unlocking service for custo m ers who have been locked out of their cars as part of their safety forces. Many loc k smiths or lock and key services look for holiday or evening employees for their companies. That is just a small fraction of the possibilities that are available with such an educ a tion. Legal work has no disadvantages, as opposed to i l legal.
A successful locksmith is awarded much pre s tige from society and the public. They are a me m ber of a chamber of craftsmen and the most are well-liked. As a criminal, you will be ostracized and shunned. If you commit a crime, you will be persecuted, fined, and have slim chances of finding a job in the professional workplace. You have compl i cated your own life, especially when you possess the same qualities as a respectable specia l ist.
Stealing often causes graver cons e quences than one even realizes. In every item there is work time which the owner had invested in order to make the money to purchase it. Time is very expensive, and can never be recovered. Ther e fore, with every theft, you take life time away, and that is unethical. In order to compensate for the st o len item, the victim must give up other plans that were likely unde r way.
This sum will likely be taken from funds used for food, retirement, or childrens education.
Therefore is crime inexcusable and deserving of strict punishment.
