My father-in-law managed to lose the keys to the locks that my aunt-in-law was "securing" her Uhaul with. The first was Master No. 23, so obviously I had that taken care of n a couple minutes with a rake. The lock was obscured by door handle of the truck, which is why it took couple minutes, rather than a couple seconds. The lock on the trailer, though, was another one of the Chateau C970s. I hate those. This one wasn't so much skill as it was luck, though. I managed to rake it into what I think was a false set (I don't recall if these are known to have security pins or not), and got lucky, in that it was just first pin that was holding everything up from there. Admittdly, I took me about 30-40 minutes with it. Or at least it felt like it. Another weird angle, and I was hunched over the whole time. I know it's not that impressive in general, but the feeling of genuine accomplishment was amazing.
