Most cities offer a selection of classes and activities for their inhabitants,but this one is WAY out there,even by California standards. In Oakland,CA the mayor decided to include a course in lock picking along with 40 other classes offered in a "Workshop Weekend". I have to comment at this point,how could anyone think this was a good idea? Even if it was in a low crime area why would the city want to in any way endorse this skill? The idea,as explained by the mayor was to assist people who accidentally locked themselves out of their homes. The 3 hour class description stated that students could either bring their own tools or purchase a set at the class. The mayor heard from constituents, to say the least, and apologized saying it strikes the wrong note when we are trying to bring down crime (no kidding?).
