Anyone can pick the lock in seconds if they take the time to learn.

My dad owned a few vending machines when I was a kid. Since they were used, he had to replace the locks on all of them and taught us how to pick them. It's relatively easy to do so. I think he only ever ended up drilling out one of the cylinders while he was able to pick the rest.

A Bic pen won't work that well, but a $50 pick will.

I own a tubular lockpick set and have experience picking locks.

Not all tubular locks are as easy as you think they are, I assure you.

You can see my previous comment in this thread explaining that I've also owned and operated multiple types of vending machines over the years.
