This, is the Thieve's Handbook, by pepsi(or, "hex", writer of, "How to Stop Mall escelators"),
|
|
For all the thieves, and burglars, who need to know how, or how to more effectively, burglarize
|
|
various places, or people. This will be my longest text-file yet, so enjoy.
|
|
****Stealing A Car***
|
|
Well, first off, get the needed supplie's.
|
|
Most likely, you can find some kind of car lock pick, or something of that sort.
|
|
So, if you can get your hands on that, great. Test it out a few time's to see if it
|
|
work's, so it won't fuck up, and in turn, fuck you up, when trying to break into the car.
|
|
Okay, if you have the lock, make sure this car can be accessed at night.
|
|
If they have it in their garage your out of luck... unless you can break in, and then
|
|
Get the car out, which is un-likely. Alright, so your their and your near the driver's side,
|
|
and your getting the lock open, great.
|
|
Do it FAST, then once the car is open, make sure you get into the car very calmly
|
|
and non-suspiciously, as if it was your car. Okay, now that your in...
|
|
Immediately look under the dash. If its Enclosed, damn, your going to have
|
|
to cut through it. If you do, cut near the ignition.
|
|
Now, if it isnt enclosed, and you can get by the ignition, look for two red
|
|
wires. In older car's, red was the standard color, but if not red, then look for
|
|
Two matched pair's. When you find the wire's that look right, cross them, and
|
|
Get the hell out of their. Don't go too fast, but make sure you can get away from
|
|
the house/work/whatever, before they see you. Now, once your off, and back to your
|
|
House or wherever, TAKE OFF THE LICENSE PLATE. And switch it with your car.
|
|
Now, if you have the resource's, paint the car different, and change anything
|
|
about it that could be identified, and there you go.
|
|
You have yourself a car.
|
|
|
|
|
|
****Lock picking a Master lock****
|
|
This can be used for breaking into anything.
|
|
If your breaking into something, that has a master lock on it, it should be worth following
|
|
These simple instruction's.
|
|
|
|
First off, get a bag, or whatever your going to need, to be able to put the
|
|
various thing's you steal into.
|
|
No matter what, dress dark.
|
|
Not too obvious, but dark enough that if you hid, no one could see you easily.
|
|
Now, get into wherever you are, and go to work.
|
|
1st number. Get out any of the Master locks so you know what's going on.
|
|
1: The handle part (the part that springs open when you get
|
|
the combination),
|
|
pull on it, but not enough so that the knob won't move. 2: While pulling on it
|
|
turn the knob to the left until it won't move any more. Then add 5 to this
|
|
number. Congradulations, you now have the 1st number.
|
|
2nd number. (a lot tougher) Ok, spin the dial around a couple of times,
|
|
then go to the 1st number you got, then turn it to the right, bypassing the 1st
|
|
number once. WHEN you have bypassed. Start pulling the handle and turning it.
|
|
It will eventually fall into the groove and
|
|
lock. While in the groove pull on
|
|
it and turn the knob. If it is loose go to the next groove; if it's stiff you
|
|
got the second number.
|
|
3rd number: After getting the 2nd, spin the dial, then enter the 2 numbers,
|
|
then after the 2nd, go to the right and at all the numbers pull on it. The lock
|
|
will eventually open if you did it right. If can't do it the first time, be
|
|
patient, it takes time.
|
|
Once it's open, get what you need, and get the fuck out.
|
|
Waste no time.
|
|
|
|
****Breaking Into Houses****
|
|
First off, you need to scope out a house.
|
|
I wouldn't advise doing a robbery of a house, in your own neighborhood,
|
|
because its too likely for you to get fingered.
|
|
Well, i'd recommend just riding around in your car, or whatever you have,
|
|
just seeing the houses. Check out who live's there, where they sleep, where everything
|
|
is located, etc.
|
|
Also, if you want, do random things which you think would set off alarms.
|
|
Break the windows, or anything. Make sure you use rock's or something.
|
|
I really wouldnt advise breaking the windows, because the people would get paranoid..
|
|
Just set dog's around there, get them to walk around, and see if it set's off anything.
|
|
If so, stay clear from that area.
|
|
Then start getting closer. As in, checking the house out at night. Just walking
|
|
Down the street, act normal, then when you suspect no pig or neighbor will see
|
|
you investigating the house, move into the side yard, or whatever. Make sure you stay
|
|
away from the areas that set off the alarm. Also, beware of those annoying
|
|
lights that come on when anyone walks under them. Now, just scope.
|
|
Get into a dark area, and check it out.
|
|
Then leave. Act like nothing happened, and just walk away.
|
|
Good.
|
|
Now, if they've already seen you, get a friend to do this for you.
|
|
Try to find some outfit's that look like some type of security officer,
|
|
or some such thing. And get him to ask about their security systems,
|
|
for a survey, or something like that. Get down where they are, and what type
|
|
they are.
|
|
For example... "Good evening/afternoon/morning mam/sir. Im from *insert random or real
|
|
security/alarm company name here*, and we're doing a survery on what kind of alarm systems
|
|
most normal suburban families/people have. This can be over in a few minutes if you can just
|
|
tell me where your alarms, are at, and what kind they are."
|
|
Blah, blah, blah. Once you, or your friend are done, come back.
|
|
Read over it, and make sure you know JUST Where everything is.
|
|
Study all about this type of security system or whatever, and know how to disable it.
|
|
Now, you must go out and find a lock pick, of some kind. Or make your own...
|
|
Or dont even bother, just shim the door.
|
|
The whole technique of shimming doors is a little known fast way to open most
|
|
of the 'lock in knob' type of doors without even looking at the lock. The
|
|
theory is the same as the old tried and true credit card, but from the other
|
|
side of the door.
|
|
|
|
This technique only works on doors with a latch looking like this (top view):
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
----!
|
|
!
|
|
!-\
|
|
this is the ! \ <- this is the latch
|
|
door !---+
|
|
!
|
|
----!
|
|
|
|
(you are here)
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
Once you have found a door like this, then you need the tool to do it (or you
|
|
want one for a 'B&E kit')
|
|
|
|
To make one, take some sheet metal about 22ga (about 1/3 of the thickness of a
|
|
floppy disk for you non-metalworking types) (really any thin, strong metal will
|
|
do) in a strip about 1/2 inch wide and 7 1/2 inches long, take this and fold it
|
|
over on itself between the 4 1/2 and 5 inch mark like this:
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
! metal (before) !
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
^
|
|
fold here
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
! !
|
|
! !
|
|
! !
|
|
\ +-------------------
|
|
\! metal (after) !
|
|
\-------------------
|
|
|
|
(This is all flat)
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Now hit the fold with a hemmer a couple of times to thin it down and flatten
|
|
it out. You should now have a 'L' shaped thin piece of metal (you need to do
|
|
the folding of the corner for strength, just a 'L' shaped piece of metal won't
|
|
work very well and will tear at the corner).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now what you've all been waiting for...
|
|
|
|
How to use it:
|
|
|
|
Take your 'L' down to the door you want to use it on, and push it in the crack
|
|
between the door and the doorframe just below the latch, lift it and pull back
|
|
while pulling on the door, the 'L' will slide the latch back into the door and
|
|
the door will open. Here it is in pictures:
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1) Where to put it:
|
|
|
|
----+ +---
|
|
door ! ! doorframe
|
|
! !
|
|
knob -> O !*! <- the latch
|
|
! !
|
|
insert -> ! !X!
|
|
----/ !X!
|
|
! !
|
|
|
|
(fromt view except 'L')
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
2) How to do it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) in ! door !
|
|
! ! !
|
|
! !*)! ! <- latch
|
|
shim -> ---------/ !
|
|
! !
|
|
|
|
|
|
I. ^^ move up from here
|
|
II. pull back when in position a)
|
|
III. ^ while pulling knob
|
|
IV. Open door, walk in
|
|
|
|
It takes some practice, try it on an open door of this type to see what
|
|
happens.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If it will not fit, or the latch is extra stiff, put a screwdriver in the
|
|
crack over the latch and pry it open If the latch has a small flat space before
|
|
the slant, you will have to pry the crack open, and use another (small)
|
|
screwdriver to inch the latch back into the door a bit).
|
|
|
|
With one of these tools, I can open almost all of the doors in my school, and
|
|
most of them faster than the people with the key can. (put in + pull up (3
|
|
secs), pull back on knob and 'L' (3 secs), walk in.
|
|
|
|
Now, this must be done at night, or some time when the people ARENT Home, or ar fully asleep.
|
|
If they have job's, and their children are at school, then go now.
|
|
|
|
The best idea, is act like a security officer, or some type of inspector, checking out the house
|
|
(to avert all suspicion). Knock a few times, and act like you hear some one calling.
|
|
Say something(if people are watching)like, "I'm with *blah blah*. Im here to *blah blah*...
|
|
May i come in?" and by then everyone should have stopped caring... Either way, cover your self
|
|
like, acting normal though, and shimmy the door open.
|
|
|
|
Nice and easy. Now, remember where the system's are, and disable them, if you know how.
|
|
If not, then hopefully, in your researching, you found out how NOT to set them off.
|
|
Now, of course, from watching everyone, and where they go, etc, you can probably find out
|
|
where all the money, or valuables are. Go to the area which you think you'd find most luck,
|
|
and begin opening things. If they have locks, then follow this guide, on how to pick them...
|
|
|
|
First one will need strong metal,if possible clock spring steel
|
|
to use to make the picks. I have used the flat part of a regular
|
|
butterknife, or one of those small screwdrivers. An Allen wrench
|
|
is good for a tension bar. You will also need something to forge a
|
|
piece of metal into a pick, like a grinder, sander, files or maybe
|
|
even a metal cutter.
|
|
|
|
2.2 Types of picks
|
|
|
|
There are several types of lock picks, ranging from several
|
|
shaped ends on the end of the pick. Only a few will be discussed
|
|
here because these few are the most common. The most valuable of
|
|
picks is the Rake. The rake has a double curved shape at the end,
|
|
which places the pins were you want them. (See Figure 1) As you
|
|
can see, the curves must be made like in the diagram, and extremly
|
|
rounded. Also needed is the Tension Bar. (Figure 2).

2.3 Construction
|
|
|
|
Well, you will need some strong sheet metal, or clock spring
|
|
steel, you can use the thin part of a butterknife (Hey, it works!)
|
|
and grind the metal to somewhat the shape of the pick and file the
|
|
rest with a metal file (triangular file, if you have it). then all
|
|
you have to do is make the tension bar. (Allen wrenchs work good,.
|
|
all you have to do is thin the small curved part so it is about .5
|
|
mm in thickness, the width of the Allen wrench should be about 2mm
|
|
and no less than 3/4 of an inch long).
|
|
|
|
2.4 Small extras
|
|
|
|
If you want, you can construct several other picks, of different
|
|
styles, but the rake is the most common, also if you want, you can
|
|
make several rakes, and tension bars of different sizes, because of
|
|
the fact that differnt locks feel more comfortable with the correct
|
|
size pick. Don't vary the size for more than a mm or 2, because the
|
|
pick wont affect the pins then.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chapter 3: How to pick a lock
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most people believe that to pick a lock, they shove a rake into
|
|
the lock, then a tension bar, and shove, push, and pull to get the
|
|
lock to open. If this type of picking is used, you will be a lucky
|
|
person to even open one lock. Therefore, the proper way of picking
|
|
a lock must be explained. First thing to learn is that a common
|
|
lock is made of a core (the center part that moves when you insert
|
|
a key), and the outside of the core, which stays stationary. A pin
|
|
can be located in a hole drilled through the core, and outside of
|
|
the core, is a pin, there are usually 5 or 6 of these cylinders in
|
|
a lock. There is a lower pin, an upper pin, and a spring, in that
|
|
order. Now, when the space between where the two pins meet should
|
|
be at the space where the core meets the outside part of the lock,
|
|
when this happens the core will move freely. The space between the
|
|
core and outer part is called the "shear line". So, the purpose is
|
|
to bring all the upper pins to the shear line, so they will remain
|
|
there. After each of the upper pins are there, just turn to unlock
|
|
it. By the way, it's clockwise to unlock, counterclockwise to lock
|
|
it back, if you want. How do the upper pins stay up you ask? Well,
|
|
remember those cylinders?... They are not all drilled at the exact
|
|
same place, so it does not form a perfect line (it is imposible to
|
|
drill them exactly right, they might be off by a fraction of a mm)
|
|
Anyway, when you have tension on there, the pins will get "caught"
|
|
up there above the shear line, in no order. So tension has to stay
|
|
constant when picking. Not too much tension, but some. First place
|
|
the tension bar in the lock, at the bottom, so the shorter part of
|
|
the tension bar is is vertical,and put tension on, and as the pins
|
|
raise to the shear line, they move the core ever so slightly, but
|
|
you will notice, and all you have to do, is do it to all the pins,
|
|
and you will open the lock. Dont push the pins too far up, or they
|
|
can get caught above the shear line.
|
|
|
|
Once this is done, your in. Start looking around inside the lock's, or
|
|
whatever it is, for valuables. Take anything you think is valuable...
|
|
Make sure you have a bag, or some type of carrying device, to put your valuables
|
|
into... Now, once your done taking whatever you will, close the lock, and arrange
|
|
everything how it was, and move upstairs(or wherver else you think their might be
|
|
valuables). Look around, once again, for objects worth stealing.
|
|
Take them, and arrange everything, once again, how they were.
|
|
If they have a computer, or some such, make sure you have a partner...
|
|
That can come in after you've broken in, and help take the stolen item's out.
|
|
ALWAYS, i repeat, ALWAYS, wear gloves when doing this. We don't need you getting
|
|
booked for this. Now, once done, let your friend exit through the back, or a discreet
|
|
area, where no one look's, and get to your car, easily, and smoothly. Note, wear make-up,
|
|
or something, so no one can id you. Wear black make up, or just distort how you look.
|
|
This doesn't quite matter, if your not breaking into a house, in your neighborhood,
|
|
but one farther away, because they don't have any clue who you are.
|
|
Now, leave, leave, leave. Put on a fake license plate, and get to your house nice and easy...
|
|
Dont get stopped, because they might see the fake plate, and bust you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
***RIPPING OFF A REFRESHMENT MACHINE****
|
|
OK, here's how to rip off a 'refreshment machine'...
|
|
You need a...
|
|
dollar bill
|
|
some strong packing tape
|
|
refreshment machine
|
|
|
|
|
|
Apply the tape to the end of the bill, put the dollar in, and take it out once you hear the change fall.
|
|
Take your change, and refreshement, and walk away. Do this as many more time's as you want, but do it
|
|
in different areas. So they don't catch on to you.,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This all i have now, but look out for my next text-file...
|
|
Getting money, food, and so much else, free!
