    To be true is not that hard to pick a lock without knowing the key. If the lock have not antibump technology it’s easier to bumb it than to make a copy of the key.

      Sure, for most locks, that is true. But it is a lot more conspicuous. If someone sees you picking a lock, they may report you. If they see you using a key, they will likely think nothing of it.

      Also, lock picking usually leaves behind evidence. Using a key doesn’t. That may or may not be relevant, e.g. for insurance.
