nsmbfan Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Ok, so maybe you can help me with my problem. I don't need the landlord from my apartments coming in when I'm not there - or the maintenence man for that matter. I smoked a bowl and came up with this... see if you can improve upon it, or tell me if there's a better way without changing the locks. I'm trying this when I get home from work. Be sure to debunk it before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampFightOner Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 How do you unlock it once you get back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsmbfan Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 If someone can't come up with a better idea, I'll just use my patio door instead. But I think it'd be suspect if people started seeing me come and go by hopping my patio gate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsmbfan Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 How do you unlock it once you get back? with the same string, opposite the way you did to lock it? i'm no scientist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yea, no shit, if you have another way in or out lock that motherfucker and climb out the window. That string will fail and you'll be locked out, just put the bong away when you go out or find a better place to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 You can change the lock, it's easy and completely legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crocodile Tears Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 i do not know if i would trust tape, actually i deff wouldn't. but if this is the route you're going to go then at least drill small holes through the opposite end where the arrow is on the inside part of the lock so you can tie the string through the hole and make sure it had a 60lb test or something stronger. need 1 bit for drilling metal maybe like 1/16 inch? 2 also a drill lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 you've obviously never worked with gorilla glue and 100lb test fishing line. No, I haven't, I'm a tradesman, I tend to do these kinds of things the right way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsmbfan Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 If I thought my landlord was entering my house without my permission I'd be on the phone flipping the fuck out and threatening physical violence, not devising stupid lock systems the maintence guy accidentally went to the wrong apartment to fix a "plumbing problem". he knocked once and walked right in... i didn't have the top lock locked. i got suspect and called the front office, to see if he wasnt just casing my shit while i was gone. turns out to be a simple mistake, but i know better. the new maintenence guy looks like a crack addict.

famecrazy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Set up a webcam outside your front door and stream it live to your iphone, so you can see if he is snooping around your shit. And for the times you're at home you can set up some sort of live cam strip site for housewives and make a fortune. The possibilities are endless and can only lead to good things.

john_gacy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 yea, tell THAT to the judge. Who said anything about a judge, snitchy? I figured that if you're going to go through some sort of mentally challenged Macgyver string & tape lock your own ass out plan that maybe you don't understand that dude can't just stop in as he pleases without you there.

SwampFightOner Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Husk was convinced his new landlord stole $100 off his kitchen counter, so we came up with alot of ridiculous scenarios of how he could surveil him The best one, in my opinion, was wearing a teddy bear costume and pretending to be a really big stuffed animal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topfloorbasement Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 i suspect my landlord/maintenence guy letting themselves into my apt while i'm not home, so i jus stash discriminating evidence befor leaving for work every morning... like merc said, bong stashed, blackbook on bookshelf looking like a book, graff supplies an shit either hidden or in my "art studio" which has no graff on the walls and non-graff look'n paintings on the walls... good luck with the different locking ideas tho....

Probabale cause? What the fuck are you talking about? Your landlord doesn't have the same rights as a cop, he can't come in cuz he "thinks something is up" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsmbfan Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 ok but you're saying if he walks in and happens to notice something on his own, while he's illegally in my place of residence, he can't go to the cops with it? dude i hope that's the case. but i don't got the time for a courtroom of my peers to decide that for me.

SwampFightOner Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'm sure he COULD, but he definitely wouldn't be telling them "So yeah, I just walked into my tenant's apartment for nor easona nd then I..." Again, if you think they're going in your apartment without your permission say something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
