Small Victories Department, Take 1

[alexpgp]

I must confess to "sidewalk diving" from time to time, when items being disposed of appear to still be serviceable, as was the case with a file cabinet my neighbor across the street put out for pickup a couple of days ago. The only defect I could see was that the bottom drawer was ajar and the lock was in the locked position, preventing the drawer from closing completely.

I thought to myself, "What a great opportunity to put all that time I had devoted to lock picking to good use." In the end, I think the lock gave way simply because there was nothing else it could do when faced with the Irresistible Force that was the little nail file jigger-do that folds into a standard set of nail clippers.

The cabinet now effectively cannot be locked, but I don't need it to lock—I need it to cabinet!

Excelsior!
