How to crack a safe in 5 minutes

Posted May 14, 2008 9:03 AM

From Newlaunches.com:

If you are a millionaire then you surely don't want Jeff Sitar around your mansion. Jeff is a seven-Time World Safecracking Champion and can take down a bank vault in 5 minutes, 19 seconds. Thankfully the 500 safes he crack in a year are done legitimately as a "white hat" consultant for the FBI, Secret Service, and all the major banks.

This guy is amazing. I wonder how he keeps his hands so sensitive?

But to beat him I would assume you could hook up some sort of variable speed vibration on the lock then his fingers wouldn't be able to feel the tumblers click into place.

By us in SA they crack safes in seconds. They just blow them up and steal the money.

Interesting Video.

I'm not entirely sure what the Niagara falls and the dummy test have to do with safecracking.

Kind Regards....
