Lock picking
Jouster:
Once you get the hang of picking...less than 30 seconds to pick most locks.
Then once you have it open...you can most likely get it keyed...no need to drill.

That may be...but its more fun to empty someone's desk drawer...then lock it back up. The look their face is priceless...although you do get another good look when you use a crowbar.

Arcade locks, maybe. Even a pro locksmith (with manual tools) averages 4-5 minutes for a simple 5 pin lock like on most houses.
30 seconds only works for James Bond with any regularity.

I can get 4 pins pretty quick on a good lock, but almost never get all five. I had to quit messing with locks around the house because I was scratching them up. ;D

I've always loved thieving skills, just I've never had the inclination to use them to be dishonest and steal.
when I was young and crazy uni student 1st year ("freshman"), I was "bored" one Sunday and killed about two hours by picking the combination locks for 75% of the bikes at my college. It took on average under 30 seconds per lock, sometimes well under 10 seconds. It was nearly 200 bikes in all.
I didn't steal or even move a single bike. I just left the locks dangling as a clear message to their owners - "Get a better lock".
'twas a silly thing to do though, and haven't repeated the performance.
