I lost a Staun Deflator about 40 minutes after buying a set. Left it on the bonnet while I put the other valve caps on. Now I only have three - VERY aggravating.

Guilty!

I think that my most embarrassing example was with my D1. I swapped the spare for one of the road tyres & then took it for a drive to make sure everything was OK. The only trouble was that I didn't fit the removed tyre on the spare wheel carrier. Three wheelnuts are now distributed around Sydney.

as another method for opening a padlock, look up a lockpicking tool known as a "shim"

basically it can be made from a beer can, and is used to slide the locking pin in the padlock out of the way so you can open it

personally, i've allways used the 2 hammer trick

Well that was easy...

Angle grinder, cutting disc and 5 seconds per cut:

Yale! Those, Lockwood and Papaiz were the 3 that used to stop me/us in our young lockpicking days.

Everything else including combination locks were easy.

I always buy Lockwood these days if its anything I care about, but a lot will have changed since I was in Yr7.

It was a good thing it wasn't a shrouded lock like I use:

You obviously didn't have an angle grinder and a portable generator back then
