Well anyway, students at the local college have a bunch of athletic facilities that they get access to. The students with possessions usually bring small lightweight combination locks with them to the locker room then use these inventions to lock their possessions in the locker.
The trick with these locks is that they are only useful if you know the combination, because if you don't know the combination the lock becomes a worthless hunk of metal that you might as well throw at a passing car.
Some people for some reason, probably from drinking varnish and smoking rolled up paint flakes have no memory for numbers. I am one of those people.
I buy 2 combination locks a year. Its probably the least expensive punishment for stupidity that I could ask for but it is still really irritating. I buy one at the beginning of the year, take 4 months to memorize the combination, and write the combination on some piece of paper somewhere. Then Christmas holidays come along and I instantly lose the written form of the combination while also forgetting it forever.
So then in January I have to buy a new lock, but this year I'm not doing it. I never learn from mistakes, but its about time I started. If I learn anything from this mistake its that I am never buying another lock again after this one. You see I have a plan, I am going to have the combination stenciled into the back of the lock and also tattooed on the side of my neck.
Then we'll see who the chump is, ha!
