An how do you plan to open the door after breaking the window, Sherlock?
I bet you’re too fat to scramble through the window. Even if you aren’t, I
can see an epic kick-ass FAIL when the owner catches you arse up half-way in the car.
hahaha, wow, or you could not make an ass of yourself and unlock the door by sticking your arm through the broken window and pulling up the little nub thingy
1. the other door may work perfectly fine and there is merely a problem with the drivers side door locking mechanism
2. the photographer decided to take a picture of only one side so the lock can be seen clearly. attempting to take a picture of both doors at once would be photograph fail
Duly noted sir; however, what is to stop you from breaking the window of a vehicle that is not padlocked. Looks to me like it was a cheap fix for a broken lock. So, it is not so much a fail as it is a jibe at someone redneck enginerring a lock for their early to mid eighties ride.
Actually… You don’t need it going through the handle to prevent the door from opening – the door will open – you just can’t separate it from the door frame. The car door I mean – you can’t separate that.
But BF, enough of praising him/her!
You can give slumlord the prize: a big promotion to rolfrazzi commenter.
Sadly, that position is not compatible with failblog commenting.
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…
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.
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!
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!
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
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.
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.
first?
Yes, but you wouldn’t if I hadn’t thought about writing something else than “first”
touché
First fail
That’s more like a car lock WIN.
I don’t see anyone getting through that! =O
definitely a WIN. if i was going to rob some car, bolt cutters would not be on my list of tools.
NOT FIRST!!!!!11111oneoneone1!
NOT FUNNY!!!!111!1ONE!!!
NOT FUNKY!!!!2!!!22twotwotwotwo22@@!!!
Six?
yea but you could still just break the window. FAIL!
An how do you plan to open the door after breaking the window, Sherlock?
I bet you’re too fat to scramble through the window. Even if you aren’t, I
can see an epic kick-ass FAIL when the owner catches you arse up half-way in the car.
Nice
hahaha, wow, or you could not make an ass of yourself and unlock the door by sticking your arm through the broken window and pulling up the little nub thingy
And that would unlock the padlock how exactly?
i just spat out my coffee XD
epic win good sir
XD
FAIL!!! its not a padlock…
Um…even if you pull up the nub thingy, there’s still the big-ass chain and lock keeping that from opening.
*succumbs and face palms* no inuendo intended.
smarta$$ fail
Dukes of Hazzard fail
Albatross Win.
Passenger window, Bitches!
If the owner has only put the huge ass chain on the other door, he has in deed FAILEed.
Judging from the effort put in welding and all, I doubt the fact that there are two doors in the car hasn’t appeared to him.
1. the other door may work perfectly fine and there is merely a problem with the drivers side door locking mechanism
2. the photographer decided to take a picture of only one side so the lock can be seen clearly. attempting to take a picture of both doors at once would be photograph fail

Seriously.
if i was going to steal the car i’d firstly chose a better car but secondly i’d probably just smash the window and climb in
That’s it!!!! We need MACGYVER!!!!!
Yo…is there MACGYVER in the house??? No???? This is FAILBLOG…..
MACGYVER never FAILS!!!!!!
has no one noticed that the chain fails to go through the handle, and is therefore pointless???
Actually… You don’t need it going through the handle to prevent the door from opening – the door will open – you just can’t separate it from the door frame. The car door I mean – you can’t separate that.
this isnt new
Yea, it’s more of Emily’s work from two fails ago.
Darn that Emily, passing off old fails as the new trendy thing that we should all gawk at and make silly comments about.
NEWS FLASH!!! OLD “FUNNY” PICTURES APPEAR ON FAILBLOG!!
I DONT SEEZ dah problem
Exactly – lock win? I mean, it’ll do the job, right?
Unless a simple lock pick is involved. =]
I totally see it as an Epic Win.
Me either! I mean, that’s gonna be a pretty hijack-proof car.
Security Win.
Mr Bean
Rowan Atkinson FTW!
*opens up window from outside and throws key into car*
wow all u have to do is unscrew the metal hooks with ur hand.
its an epic fail thnx
Optimism win
I wasn’t sure if I would make it haha
I’m surprised you have the will to comment on after that distressing start.
But BF, enough of praising him/her!
You can give slumlord the prize: a big promotion to rolfrazzi commenter.
Sadly, that position is not compatible with failblog commenting.
aww and I was so psyched
I took it like a true failblog commenter.
Are you missing a tilde or do you have low self-esteem?
Here are 5 tildes for free for your n’s: ~~~~~
If anybody needs more I can sell them a dollar a piece.
*eyes Lou suspiciously* What do you want with my n’s?
I love how they fit with my m’s.

Are you looking under Mookie’s skirt?
I promise to stop looking if you untie me!
I would, but I don’t have the key to that car lock.
Mookie has the key. But I cannot tell you where she is hiding it, because young BF is around.
OK, Lou, we can get our m’s and n’s together, but you have to buy me dinner first.
I just made reservations for the Sneaky Restaurant.
*orders the meat snack* Oh, this is too big for one meal! I’ll have to wrap the rest up for later.
*perks up*
Annnnnnnnd SCENE! Well done guys…guys…I said you can stop now….guys? OH GOD!
Red Neck win!
Blue Face win!
Pink Ass-…. win!
Yellow Shoulder Win!
White Belly win!
wow thats really unusual, never even heard of a white belly before. try harder next time. FAIL
Purple people win!
oops, Purple People EATER win!
Itsy-bitsy, teenie-weenie, yellow polka dot bikini win?
No offense, but I thought japanese people were yellow, not blue.
Anyway… Green Avatar … win!
That’s not a fail, that’s just the base model Chevy truck.
I thank it was all about budget savings at “Pimp My Ride”.
Looks like someoen needs an Overhaulin’.
Pleasantly surprised you could identify the make/model.
*golf clap*
whoa FAIL Mookie…
Upon closer inspection… Thats a Ford steering wheel.
Yeah I can see why the American automaker’s need a bailout. They don’t know a thing about making automobiles!
I’m surprised they went to all that trouble. Doesn’t look like something anyone would steal anyway.
Dat Reedneck…heez a tryin to keep somfin IN!
It rubs the lotion on…
*gets hose*
Ready when you are Mookie…
Puts on night vision goggles…
My best dates always start off like this.
Chris…if i was a chick…
…you’d be all over him like white on rice?
Or like the lotion that he is hosing on to her at night.
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…
Ok, but I’m just gonna giggle and go in through the window!
hehehehe
holy crap. you dont need to go in through the window!
nvm….. sorry jeez
Lock fail…yes!
Ingenuity Win!
MacGyver viewer WIN! Now hand me that paperclip, apple, and piece of copper tubing…
Give me an avocado, and ice pick, and my snorkel…
Give me a lightbulb, a late-Cretaceous fossil and 12 lbs of C-4, and a packet of lime jello.
I don’t know if that’s really a fail… looks more secure than my car.
Absolute win!!!
Mr.Bean has a lock like that.
where do all those avatars come from?
When an artist and a computer love each other very much…
…they buy a very special type of usb stick…
Don’t forget to dim the lights… And computers really like it when you can locate their USB spot…
Make sure you have some Barry White in the background, maybe some incense. Avatars love that kind of cheesy romantic stuff!
Redneck ingenuity WIN
I don’t get it. Why is it a fail? It looks like it would work to me.
If you zoom out on the picture you’ll see it’s actually a convertible.
*laughing*
(even though my back still hurts from the SNAP! you bugger!)
That’s a car lock win!
yes it is
el oh el
this looks like a win to me
ja “fail Van” win!
Fail? It’s a bit redneck-ish, but not a fail.
U no dat truk wuz parkd ina Wal-Mart lot
*gasps*
Dude, i dare you to try to find another three comments with that special type of grammar on failblog, out of the hundreds of thousands.
keep that kind of talk on i can haz cheezburger/hotdog
Bean!
Mr. Bean’s was better.
LL BEAN is better
With proper application of Zeppelin, Anpu can break into any car. Doesn’t matter how much chain you use.
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?
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.
Don’t pride yourself! You’ll go blind!
excuse me as I add bolt cutters to my car stealing kit from now on, it seems like I’m gonna need it
94th
eleventy-fifthdeded!
Looks like it works.
I know… how is that a fail?
You wouldn’t be able to open the door..
This is more “Car WIN”
Caption Fail – definitely better than the factory issued lock LOL
no #118
Really not funny.
Oh this is such a total fail!!! Just unscrew the bolts and voila you’re in! Sheesh!
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!

How much do you bet he couldn’t get the spare key back from his ex? (This is perfect fodder for a country song!)
I looked at the alike situation.
Car lock fail, padlock WIN.
All that person did was try to protect his car, his car lock broke, so he improvised.
sad thing is… I know a guy who did something very similar to this
This isn’t a fil. Notice how you will not be able to open the door.
LIES!!!!!!!!!! this is a WIN
mr. bean much??
wow all u have to do is unscrew the metal hooks with ur hand.
its an epic fail kthnx lol
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.
Car lock Win, can’t get hooks out, they’re in metal!
thats not a fail thats better than the doorlock! besides if you add a club to the wheel were talking damn near fullproof!!
try the other side
hill billy locking system
