@Joe_von_Saporski depends. I try not to damage any of the character or writing on love locks, so I tend to just leave them in their current state (but nice and dry).
@aimaz there are two main types of heart-shaped locks encounter: one takes a standard handcuff key, and one clicks shut once, then doesn't open again (I believe they have a little pin that drops in once closed that seizes them up).
@alice Youโre doing such a public service. I hadnโt realized how much lock litter is EVERYWHERE now. (I havenโt traveled much since pre-2020.) Holy hell, people are buying and purposefully littering a LOT of trash these days!
@alice This weekend, I had to pick a lock and was successful with a nail file and a pair of tiny tweezers, thanks to watching you and @deviantollam's posts, and I'm hooked.
