You can tell I'm not a burglar

I've lost the key for my shed. It is definitely gone. I think I forgot to take it off my old car keys so its gone forever.

I needed to be in my shed today, so I went out with my claw hammer. It quickly became obvious that I'd make a rubbish burglar. I thought one or two good belts with the hammer onto the padlock would open it. Not so. I brayed it this way and that, and the outer body of the lock was a fair old mess by that time I gave up on that strategy after several minutes. I tried a different approach, braying the hinge side to try to knock it downward and rip it out. After several belts that echoed round the whole neighbourhood, all I'd achieved was to bend the hinge a bit.

Anyway, after a good 15 minutes effort, I did eventually get in.

So now, you know I'm forgetful, I need a favour off you lot please. If in a few days time you see me post having a rant about how I've found my shed broken into, can you remind me that it was me please

Padlock?
Just unscrew the fixings, you'll be in straight away.

 

When its locked, the flap thingy goes over the screw heads, so you can only access the screw heads when the thing is unlocked, but then I wouldn't need to access them

 

Did you remember what you wanted from the shed Clueless after breaking and entering?

 

You should have just picked the lock or taken the screws out of the hinge side clueless
Or the hard way and saw through or drill the lock
Dead easy, for info google it

In one of my employ's I did several a day for thirty years, though I admit the first one was the hardest :-) A safe

Eh? What shed?

Oh yes, some weed control fabric I knew I had. I searched the entire house for it before it crossed my mind that I might have put it in the shed, because of course its logical to search the house for garden stuff before searching the garden shed.
