Every door locked up. but one is missing just enough window trim to make this possible. Since the front doors are only secured by the original deadbolts, you can just unlock them, walk around, replace the window, walk back in the front doors and lock them behind you to continue youre exploring fun with the people outside none the wiser.

Saw this on HackedIRL.com:

These are both from the same prison as the guard tower I posted earlier.


(Note the chain on the left, which has a padlock attached to the last link but is not holding the door closed.)


Every door & window in this building was securely boarded up except this one. The mud was much more of a deterrent.

I wonder if anyone was fooled by that and did something assuming that camera wasn't plugged in.

I very nearly gave on on getting inside this place when I took a closer look through one last door ...

The one on the ground-level, 5 feet to the left of it was wide open....

Yeah, but if that were a video game, you would inexplicably slide off the concrete just before you got to the top of the fence.

Luckily there's also a gap in the fence just to the right, and that old bookcase also doubles as a handy ladder. ;)

Fuck yeah! We brought a ladder! Now we're finally going to be able to get- aw, shit, how long has that been there??

Saw this on Failblog today...

I was exploring the old Kingpin Lanes in Cincinnati. They had orange plastic fencing around the property that couldn't easily be climbed over. Since the lanes were being torn down, it was across all three of the old entrances, but not across the short hill leading down to the senior apartments where my grandmother lived. Plus there were steps in the hill.

Oh well, at least they tried.

Has anybody ever come across a ladder guard that successfully kept them off the structure?

Posted by vov35 Has anybody ever come across a ladder guard that successfully kept them off the structure?

Once. His name was Craig and he patrolled the ladder in leather shorts; a big man, with a dildo in his hand.

I kept as far away from his 'structure' as possible.

Chris...

My excursion this week had some pretty sorry security...

First, a shoulder high gate was locked, and while hopping the stone wall attached to it would have been pretty easy, it was even easier to walk through the hole in the fence yards away. Another, about six foot, iron gate was on the porch to the building, again, padlocked but practically had a stepping stool to get over it.

The annoyance came from the interior, where I suspect some local 'explorers' had it in their head to keep others out...didn't seem like the same work as Mr. Padlock on the outside.

The door is always open, but on the interior, someone shoved a catering cart against it and tied it to the door handle with a coat hanger. They seemed to have overlooked that the door has a large window, that has no glass and is easily climbed through. We removed the catering cart just to make it easier to leave later. Not too far in, we ran into a set of double doors tied together at the bottom with yet another old coat hanger. Pretty simple to untie...nothing more than a nuisance.

I'm not really sure what people are trying to accomplish by scattering things like this around buildings. I thought maybe someone who likes the site was trying to deter vandals a bit, but local kids determined to mess up a building aren't going to be stopped by that kind of thing....hell, we probably could have kicked the door open if we weren't concerned about damaging it!

Haha, not that this is the type of hobby where I should expect that EVERYONE is a team-player.
