There was a wonderful 18th Century document urging people not to keep a
discussion of security or insecurity of locks secret posted to comp.risks
recently. It might be worthwhile to repost it in this forum.

"Rogues are very keen in their profession, and already know much more
 than we can teach them respecting their several kinds of roguery.  Rogues knew
 a good deal about lockpicking long before locksmiths discussed it among them-
 selves, as they have lately done..."
