  1. slumlord says:

    first?

  2. Ano says:

    Optimism win

  3. ricardo says:

    Red Neck win!

  4. Mookie says:

    That’s not a fail, that’s just the base model Chevy truck.

  5. SJ says:

    Yeah I can see why the American automaker’s need a bailout. They don’t know a thing about making automobiles!

  6. fluffy the fish says:

    I’m surprised they went to all that trouble. Doesn’t look like something anyone would steal anyway.

  7. When I was in a band, and we traveled by van, this is what we did. When all your equipment, and everything you need to survive on the road is in your vehicle, an extra lock is a good idea…

  8. ID 10 T Error says:

    Lock fail…yes!

    Ingenuity Win!

  9. Sithinious says:

    I don’t know if that’s really a fail… looks more secure than my car. :P

  10. GUESS says:

    Mr.Bean has a lock like that.

  11. randomperson says:

    where do all those avatars come from?

  12. redneck says:

    Redneck ingenuity WIN

  13. Amanda says:

    I don’t get it. Why is it a fail? It looks like it would work to me.

  14. katz says:

    That’s a car lock win!

  15. ill-punch-you-in-the-face says:

    yes it is

  16. Blåbär says:

    el oh el

  17. Dom says:

    this looks like a win to me

  18. ja fail says:

    ja “fail Van” win!

  19. Pirate77 says:

    Fail? It’s a bit redneck-ish, but not a fail.

  20. wingra says:

    U no dat truk wuz parkd ina Wal-Mart lot

  21. Kath says:

    Mr. Bean’s was better.

  22. Edmond Dantes says:

    LL BEAN is better

  23. capt. awesome says:

    With proper application of Zeppelin, Anpu can break into any car. Doesn’t matter how much chain you use.

    • talldude88 says:

      What if it is an anti-anpu-zepplin chain, forged in the fires on Olympus by Hephaestus, and blessed by the Odin and the Gods of Ragnarok?

      • capt. awesome says:

        No force can overcome the power of Anpu’s Led Zeppelin albums. Achilles Last Stand alone could obliterate even the best of all of Xenuland’s many chains. We here in Zepland pride ourselves in our Zeppelin. And Olympus knows that if they try anything funny, we’ll simply conquer them. You don’t mess with Zeppelin or Anpu. He knows Lincoln.

  24. epicfailisepic says:

    excuse me as I add bolt cutters to my car stealing kit from now on, it seems like I’m gonna need it

  25. Shortee says:

    Looks like it works.

  26. Alex says:

    I know… how is that a fail?
    You wouldn’t be able to open the door..
    This is more “Car WIN”

  27. RoyBatty says:

    Caption Fail – definitely better than the factory issued lock LOL

  28. Non says:

    Oh this is such a total fail!!! Just unscrew the bolts and voila you’re in! Sheesh!

    • Kingdom of Fog says:

      Not so much. Good luck unscrewing eyebolts with a chain through them, and with cinched down 3/4 inch nuts on the other side. You did not do too well on the mechanics portion of the ASVAB did ya? So, stand corrected and receive a COMMENT FAIL!

      • Non says:

        Actually I did inordinately well on the mechanics portion of the ASVAB, which is probably why I see that this doesn’t work and how to overcome the situation.

        Even if the eye bolts were cinched down with 3/4th inch bolts, you can still move them with enough torque. Yes, you’d cause damage but it still could be done. Plus the chain doesn’t matter if you know how to work the puzzle. How did you do on the ASVAB?

        Someone grab a torque wrench so you can unscrew your head from your bottom so you can be wide eyed and blinking for your own little sweet comment FAIL!

        • B. Phil says:

          By the time you’re considering over-torquing the bolts to remove them (and wouldn’t the chain through the eyeholes keep you from twisting it much?), you’re probably ignoring a much simpler solution, like using some kind of cutting device to just destroy the chain. Then again, the main mission of an anti-theft device on a car is to make it more trouble than it is worth to break in. Car thief looks at this, he’ll probably just keep walking until he finds a car with an unlocked door in the same parking lot

        • Kingdom of Fog says:

          I don’t think you understood the puzzle, contrary to your statement, you would twist the chain trying to turn the eyebolts. It is a chain, not a mobius strip or a escher-esque contraption. If they are standard thread, you have to turn counterclockwise. That is practical impossibility if they are connected with a 1/2 inch proof chain. In addition, the the eyebolts are probably held in with nuts, unless the guy tapped threads into his truck, which is doubtful.
          Furthermore, unless you break the window and hold the nuts with a wrench they will just turn with the eyebolt.
          The chain does matter. if you got into your garage as opposed to on your computer you would probably be able to figure this out.

          • Tom K says:

            You could just cut the chain… or smash the window, but then again not really worth stealing the stuff, or car from this guy, because if he can’t afford a replacement, then his stuff is gunna be worth nothing.

  29. Deirdre says:

    How much do you bet he couldn’t get the spare key back from his ex? (This is perfect fodder for a country song!)

  30. PhotoPierre says:

    I looked at the alike situation.

  31. B. Phil says:

    Car lock fail, padlock WIN.

  32. SAM says:

    All that person did was try to protect his car, his car lock broke, so he improvised.

  33. sad thing is… I know a guy who did something very similar to this

  34. Sheza says:

    This isn’t a fil. Notice how you will not be able to open the door.

  35. LIES says:

    LIES!!!!!!!!!! this is a WIN

  36. Lexi says:

    mr. bean much??

  37. jordy says:

    wow all u have to do is unscrew the metal hooks with ur hand.
    its an epic fail kthnx lol

    • jordy=fail says:

      How do you plan on unscrewing the hooks with your hand when there is a metal chain through the hooks that would prevent you from unscrewing it.

  38. Jake says:

    Car lock Win, can’t get hooks out, they’re in metal!

  39. wilbur says:

    thats not a fail thats better than the doorlock! besides if you add a club to the wheel were talking damn near fullproof!!

  40. fail? says:

  41. cheaply repaired says:
