What's in a thieves kit?

[qstor]

I, too, have fond memories from that article. A couple of the other things mentioned (I think) was files (for padlocks you couldn't pick), the aforementioned wax and key-blanks, the vial of acid, the sharpened coin, and an "ear-seeker cone."

Anybody remember the good old days of ear-seekers? It was a little listening cone with wire mesh over the bell, to keep ear-seekers from burrowing in when you listened to doors.

What issue # was it?

thanks!
