I meant why it shouldn't be rummaging, as it said in the contents of the OP. Since the lock is not destroyed in the process, and so doesn't really change the state of anything in itself, I thought it makes sense that it's just rummaging. Seems to me that Theft should be reserved for when you use the fact that you picked the lock to actually steal something, no?
Would concur: picking a lock is, at worst, an act of rummaging.
Why hasn't anyone use this as defense in a breaking and entering court case yet?
Oh, right, because breaking and entering typically displays intent of a "greater" crime such as burglary,
aka "
theft"
Either way I don't care, if loftar says it's rummaging then that's cool too, redhand is hella annoying enough as it is.
