OT In the movies, safe-crackers are always listening to the tumblers in the bank vault door. Sometimes they use a stethoscope.
Does that really work?
Decades ago I had a plastic toy safe, with transparent door and walls, and it opened with a combination too. But there were no tumblers to listen to. By turning a 2 full turns to the right and a little more to the first number, then to the left a full turn and a little more to the second number, and to the right to the 3rd number, the notches in the rotating disks were aligned, and when the 3rd number was reached, the third disk, which was a little bigger than the other two, allowed the lock lever to move into all three notches at the same time. Maybe I'm not clear here, but trust me, there were no intermediate noises.
So if they can do that for a toy safe, worth no more than $5 now, why wouldn't they do that for a bank vault?
