These are the security casings we use to secure high theft items. They need to be unlocked with a special unlocking key. The following picture is what it looks like when you try to get into one with a screw driver.

The story.

One of our salesmen sold a 16GB memory card to a customer and after getting caught up in what was surely a very in depth personal conversation with the woman, he then forgot to take the memory card out of the casing after completing the transaction.

She arrived home to find her memory card trapped in this plastic fortress that couldn’t be opened with any conventional methods. First she tried to cut the top of it with scissors. But the case was still locked.

Then she tried to pry it open with a screw driver. But the plastic is designed so the case just bends without opening the case.

Although the woman wouldn’t admit to it, I’m almost certain that there were burn marks on the case. She told us that after forty-five minutes she had finally broken into the case. Surprisingly it didn’t occur to her that the case was not suppose to be opened that way. It never occurred to her that we were suppose to unlock it in store for her. She never thought after, scissors, screw drivers and fire, that something was wrong.

But I hear you asking, If she got the thing open in the end, how did you hear about this?

Turns out, after her huge ordeal, it was the wrong type of memory card for her camera.
