Master Lock has been the gold standard in padlocks for decades. They're very strong and pretty much impossible to break open. Picking them though, is another story.

A video recently popped up online showing how you can open a standard Master lock with a simple zip tie.  In the video, the narrator used a file to trim little grooves in a medium sized zip tie. Then he uses the zip tie as a key and it freakin' works!

If you are using one of these to secure your things, you may want to try something else. Maybe the old faithful, and just as tough, Master combination lock. Better do it soon though, because, that video's already gone viral.

Even as you read this, millions of people figured out how to jack your sh**!
