| | | It's probably all too obvious, but you can easily hide 2 peterson picks and a tension wrench in a cheap tripod's legs. It may not work with your fancy frotto man tripods, however. I never take lockpicks with me while going exploring, though.

| | | I have another idea. I have a belt that has a zipper, and you could place them in the belt for easy access. However the belt probably wont be able to fit most picks because of the size of the handles, but its an idea for smaller picks/tension wrenches. Who knows, im just throwing out ideas.
I love doing things in which others have no idea even exist, dont you? |

| | | Cool idea n2oah. I'm an avid lockpicker but personally I don't ever use my picks for ue. Still, cool for those who do. Something that I did to make it so I could carry my picks is I made a small, basic short hook and tension wrench and laminated them, than cut it into the shape of a card so I could carry them in my wallet. I don't carry them while UE'ing though.

| | | First time your caught with those tools, loitering around a home or business, or in a place that you gain access to with them, you'll have at least one felony charge to deal with. Posting this on the net is short sighted, and just plain stupid. Please continue...

| | | That's a nice idea. The hollow places are the best spots to hide things of any sort Ignore blackhawk, he likes to get all legal 'bout things. I doubt the policemen would find your picks in there. I don't take picks with me, but that's because I don't know how to pick locks and I don't have a need to (except at the university, but breaking in there could get you in some serious trouble).

I don't. They took all my tripod legs apart and looked. That was a Gitzo too, so it's not as easy to access. Don't be so sure that I'm not.

| | | The belts are BAD BAD BAD. They scream hiding things everywhere, not to mention when you get arrested they take your belt. Some cops will take everything apart, other cops forget to check shit. Its a gamble but its better then leaving them in your pocket I would think.

i got arrested once but they didnt take my belt right away. i was taken to the station and tossed in a holding cell for questioning. it had a toilet which (would have) allowed for a quick disposal of any evidence. they did end up taking my belt and whatever else when i was thrown into the "tank" though. that being said, he's right, belts are not a good place to hide anything. and though that is pretty clever, i wouldnt recommend carrying any picks with you unless you absolutely have to. cops will get on you hard should you run into them.

| | | I got frisked 5 or 6 times when we got caught walking outside a brewery. They didn't find the sewer map we used to get into said brewery caves hours before, or my keys in my pants pocket. They found my lockpicks and all other sorts of hacksaws, pickaxes, waders, raft, the list goes on. Everything was returned and no charges. But if somebody's house was broken into in that neighborhood, you bet your ass I'd be questioned. Chances of that are slim, but could happen. Then they would need to prove I was there. Someone elses fingerprints would tip them off it was not me. If they wore gloves, the burden of proof is still on them. We could go on all day with what if's. Every case is different. But I also have a legitimate reason to own my lockpicks.

I have a little foam piece that slips over the tips of the picks and secures them in place.

| | | That tripod idea is a great one. I wouldn't use it for lockpicks, seeing as I own none, and sure as hell wouldn't know how to use them if I did; but it has plenty of potential for other things.

| | | Using a 1/4" drill bit, drill holes that are 6 inches deep into the back heel sole of your combat boots, they are steel soled anyways, so they wont bend the lockpick tool, Then Tie fishing line to the end of the lockpick, and push them into the holes in your boots, plug the holes with a bit of moulding adhesive, and leave a bit of fishing line dangling out of your boot. If you end up in interrogation, they likely will never notice.
