People have traditionally relied on various systems to protect their homes, from the recognizable and large aligarh locks to the modern, svelte smart locks. However, burglars never seem to stop coming up with new ways to break in, and they have recently discovered a silent, surprisingly fast method that only takes 30 seconds.
 
Lock Breaking Just Got Easier
In the past, breaking into a house required the use of hammers or brute force, which produced enough noise to warn everyone in the neighborhood. At one time, families felt secure with expensive locks that could withstand force. But those days may be over.
A recently discovered technique, which is being publicly described in viral films, depicts burglars using a syringe to pour gasoline into locks. A matchstick is then used to ignite the gasoline. When the fire goes out, a light push easily opens the lock. See the video above.

Thieves Reveal the “Secret” Method
In one of these viral videos, a robber claims that "the lock opens within 30 seconds."  Using a syringe, we inject gasoline and light it on fire. We may just force it open once the flame has extinguished. He went on to say that a plastic membrane is found inside the mechanism of many locks.  The plastic melts when heated, and the lock can no longer withstand pressure.

Internet Reacts: “A Training Video for Thieves”
One user commented, “This seems more like a training video for thieves than an awareness message.” Others worried that more criminals could now adopt this method, making many households vulnerable.
