Learn to Pick a Lock

I found something I want to do before I die – learn to pick a lock.  Ligitimately, I want to be able to pick a lock with a paper clip or something similar.  Half inspired by the article in wired, half because my mom could do it and showed me how a long time ago.  My mom used to keep pennies, nickels and dimes in a small metal “bank” that she could pick the lock on with a hair pin.  I was in elementary school, so I’m sure I couldn’t remember how to do it now, but I’d like to learn again.  Add it to my bucket list – though I cringe at the name “bucket list”.
