Today, I got to watch how easy it is to break into my flat, after I locked myself out and went to my neighbour for help. He used a blunt pencil. FML

Just so you know, I live in a council estate so I always figured my neighbour would be able to break in if he wanted. It was just a shocked to see how easy it was. And I can't change the locks with out going through a big pile of paper work and waiting for permission. So much hassle. Any way thanks for the funny comments =)

You might want to invest in some better locks...

Still better than District 9 housing. Don't have to deal with as many aliens where you are, OP.

Hey at least it wasn't an actual robber. Now you know, and can do something to improve your security

I hope that in a few weeks I don't read an fml from someone complaining about having their flat broken into because the didn't change the locks when they had the chance a few weeks ago. Change the locks now, even tho its a lot of paper work, save yourself money and time dealing with insurance companies in the future when your flat is broken into. Consider your experience today a warning, and don't be so lazy... Just change the locks now while you have the chance!

How is changing the locks a lot of paperwork?

Hey OP here. Thanks every one for defending me Against #53 not that I really care what she said. I posted the story here so someone could have a laugh. I'm not on here to get advise or help =) I've got it pretty under control. And well the neighbour who did the break in is actually a really, really nice and trust worthy guy (I've lived next door to him for over a year and we get along really well.)

I wasn't trying to give you advise, everyone else on here was but there wasn't a witch hunt out for them

To be honest, you'd be better off just dropping the subject 72. You already have a bad name on this FML, don't make it worse. We all have our bad comments, don't make the situation worse though.

Can't believe the reaction I got from my comment, everyone is telling them to change their locks, which I agree with. If you lose any of your stuff or your life it's going to be all on you.

Why don't you just drop it? Quit posting here if you don't have anything nice to say

That "reaction you're getting" is because you're a complete cow. . .

As someone from the UK, you clearly have no idea about income levels in council estates or murder rates!! The chances of being murdered during a robbery are astronomically slim!!! There are hundreds of robberies every single and hardly anyone gets murdered!!

It's the same in Aus in our estates. Most communities (like the one I'm in now) everyone looks out for each other. It's the random break-ins that are a worry. and none of them will realise how flimsy my doors and locks are until they try.

Project housing is a whole different story in America. You'll get killed for looking at someone the wrong way.

There are some places like that in my city. But not many. It's usually where all the ice and heroin junkies are. or the mini gangsters are that want to appear tough by picking fights for no reason.

If you can get better locks fine. If you can't don't worry about it. If someone is going to break in they will do it regardless of what kind of lock you have. You see crooks going through solid walls to get into homes here. I doubt a better lock will protect that. So you all stop giving OP grief over a pointless symbol of security that does more in your mind then it does to the door.
