It's hard to believe that we are discovering this after 20 years, when
the crooks have been going to all that trouble to modify car jacks to
bust the locks with. I can't figure out how the pen shoves each pin
in the proper distance, unless the pins have positive stops and can't
be shoved too far. At any rate, it looks like a cheap lock with a
flat key would be more secure if the pen trick really works.
