16 People With 'Better' Security Than Fort Knox

It's nice to wish for a world where we didn't need to lock anything up. Sadly, such a world doesn't exist. Heck, even Canadians lock things up – which makes sense if you've seen the price of maple syrup. 

That said, if you're going to treat your valuables like they actually have some value, you can't take half measures. Give a thief an inch, they'll take a mile. Apparently, the folks below didn't get that memo, though. Prepare to apply your palm to your face. 

1. This security system isn't exactly "top drawer." Hey-o!

2. If good fences make good neighbors, what does this make? 

3. So, what, does the door just fly open on its own? Because that's the only reason to put six holes in your truck.

4. If nothing else, you'll never forget the combination to this lock...because it's a carabiner, not a lock.

5. When a bike is locked up in name only.

6. And if it's a scooter rather than a bike, that doesn't make it okay.

7. On the bright side, thieves might pick a car that's a bit more...up-market.

8. Biking is sweaty, sure, but come on...

9. Probably more of a subtle hint about what they want for Christmas than anything.

10. Clamps are great, but I'm not sure how much trust I would place in one.

11. Okay, that's different. If nothing else, it probably looks like too much work to steal.

12. I detect a slight problem with this system.

13. Guess thieves can test out the effectiveness of these cutters before making off with them.

14. Now there'sa security system that speaks to me.

15. When your security inadvertently helps thieves steal more.

16. One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong.
