Tubular locks (which are on most laundry and vending machines) are actually STUPIDLY easy to pick--easier than even a middle-grade padlock--they just require specialized tools that most people don't have. You can get a set of 7 and 8 pin (the most common types) tubular picks for about $60, and can teach yourself to open almost any of them in a single afternoon. It's mostly security through obscurity because of how few people actually own the tool.

I gotta get one of those
