@tobadzistsini we can't help but think that this is why LockpickingLawyer is careful about his identity, heh

Oh, I didn't know he worked for LPL so incorrectly assumed there was some other party I didn't know about.

It was kind of a strange assumption on my part after though. They work together on Covert Instruments selling lock picking tools. It's linked in McNally's channel.
