49 more love locks yesterday!
Which means over 500 in my collection now!
Which means over half way to the goal!

InB4 "Why do you steal love locks?"
1. The city considers them graffiti and abandoned property.
2. They cause damage to structures.
3. They rust away and become a hazard.
4. The city destroys them.
5. They're my friends, and I love them.
6. They're all going into a big museum art installation as a celebration of love and locksport.
Came across a really cool tubular lock today.
At first I thought it was some model of Fichet, but it's a tubular lock with the bitting on the inside of the key.

@RickGaehl sometimes I watch a YouTube from The Lockpicking Lawyer and I think those collections would be a useful laboratory.
The lock gates at Portishead stand open under a hard grey sky, with dark water held still between stone walls. Where time waits for the next tide.
