29:43 on 3D printing keys from pictures: keys have a few known standard depth and number of grooves that can be reproduced by key cutting tools that easily fit in a backpack or indeed a 3D printer. Pictures of keys don't even have to be that good or taken from close. Those key hooks next to entrance doors can easily be photographed, even from a few hundred meters away and produce a working key.

Skeleton key is a type of key. All lick companies create master keys and custodians use them. Skeletin keys refer to the specific type of door key used on old victorian style door locks. Its so thin it looks like a bone. I actualky own a skeleton master key. It will open these old doors on antique houses and apartments if the lock still works. If I rent such a place, I fix the locks and enjoy using my skeleton key.
We realky did leave doors unlocked. There realky was a lot less crime. Also, starter jobs had a kiveable wage and welfare was enough to keep body and soul together.

I fear we may need to get that awful again before people take care of each other again. Lock your doors, the hungry poor are losing their morals
