A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Locks are there to keep honest people out. Any lock can be opened given time
I'd say they are meant for dumb dishonest people (and most dishonest people happen to be dumb luckily). Honest people don't need a lock to keep them out of property that isn't theirs.
Granted
So what about if we stop time? That'll keep everyone out of my car.
You mean the special tools you can buy on scamazon for 12.99 plus shipping?
Or directly from LPL now..heck I even stumbled across the inflatable bags that you use to pry open doors for like 3.99 at crappy tire.
The locksmith used exactly the bag you’re talking about. He knew just where to place it so the door was minimally torqued. No risk of damage to the vehicle that I could see. He then used a long stick through the small opening to unlock the door.
The best way to stop a bad guy with a lockpick is a good guy with a lockpick.
(Actually the best way is to have a better lock than your next door neighbor.)
It's not that hard and the tools can be bought at any auto store. It's the factory alarm that is supposed to be the deterrent
Tbf thieves don't use these bags, they are perfectly happy to use a hammer. People like the bags for the legal entries because of the whole "not damaging the car" thing most customers of locksmiths are into.
They also serve as a social signal. If you unlock something with a key, you are assumed to be the owner of it by bystanders. If you bust out a lock picking-kit and start going to town, you are assumed to be committing a crime by bystanders.
