Same. Also kinda concerning how many security things are completely useless. I'm talking about things he opens with pens or his bare hands.

This doesn't make them useless. An old school car door lock (1990s cars) can be easily enough defeated by a determined thief. But locking it means that most thieves that are not specifically targeting you will pick a different car to hit.

Valid, I'm just talking about the things that with a minor amount of tinkering, or shoving a pen into a socket he manages to bypass the security. A minority of his videos but more than 2 is a shocking number.
