“Dear PoPville,
Just thought I should pass along the following as a warning to others in DC. I have one of those Master padlocks hanging on the railing out in front of my building, containing a spare set of keys for guests, housekeeper, lockouts, etc. It’s the same padlock I see all over town, as I think a lot of people use it for similar purposes.
Well, this morning I came out of my building to see that someone had successfully pried it open. If you have a similar padlock, just be warned that thieves may have found a way to get into it.”
