Summary: The Senior Level Class
Comment: If one has seen a movie where the thief breaks into a safe, one has probably seen the thief use a technique called manipulation. (This is what we commonly call a safecracker.) Manipulation is where Wayne Yeager starts his book and I think he would be glad to say that, quite often, manipulation is not enough. So after a couple of chapters Yeager goes on to explain more forceful methods of getting into a safe including using a drill, punching and peeling, using a torch, even using explosives. This is the senior level class... and it takes lots of work and practice to get past it.

Summary: techniques of safecracking - yeah right!
Comment: As a locksmith in Australia i was quite excited when i read the reviews for this book but 5 minutes into it i started laughing.When one reads lines such as "This is of no consequence, however,for they all act pretty much the same,and the slight differences do not alter the safecracker's methods in the least" i stopped reading and laughed.Although not a "safecracker " as such i have opened my fair share of safes and know that each safe is different from the other.Boltwork is different , safelocks throw up,down,left and right , some have hardened steel plates others have glass , concrete etc..Wayne's answer to these types of questions was so called Templates avalible for safes.Well i don't know any safecrackers that have such "Templates".Sure they have set drill points etc. but no templates.i suppose i am kinda glad this book was such rubbish as i would hate to think people are out there writing such things just to make a quick buck and allow criminals to learn more tricks!
