HaRuMaN:
Took a couple of hours of effort. That sucker was a pain.
Yenome:

Oh yea I read somewhere about that....and I am a bit late to the party but there is an easy way to unlock barrel locks I saw on youtube. Involves a bic pen.....check it out.
I would love to have a claw machine in my house, I just like winning at things that give me a prize for such.

I remember that. I do have a lock that requires it, but I don't put coins in the machine so forgot about it.

I think those Chicago Locks are a much tougher than most other barrel locks though. I tried the cardboard trick, bic trick, tried making my own picks, and even made a metal dummy key out of an old fuel line. That lock did not budge for me until it looked like the lock in Haruman's photo. I had a nice impact drill as well and it took me a few hours of straight drilling. The thing was solid.
Of course, it could be that I am inept at lock picking, I won't doubt that for a second, but I have never seen a vending machine ransacked in the wild. Given that there are so many unattended machines out there, I think I would come across this by now if all you needed was a lighter and a Bic pen.
