[Shotimes] brakes

[Ian Fisher]

One of my personal favorites is the ignition lock on a
Genie lift. It's attached to a panel that is screwed
onto a frame. A few years ago we were putting on a
production and the company that rented us the
auditorium neglected to leave us the key (and they
were supposed to). It was a Sunday and they were not
answering calls so one screwdriver and a pair of wire
cutters later and the Genie lift was hot wired.

I only watched-I did not partake. :)
