Indoor and outdoor padlock is best used as a school locker lock, gym lock, and gate lock, providing protection and security from theftSet your own four-digit combination lock for easy combination recall; combination change tool includedCombo lock is constructed with a solid body for strength and weatherability, hardened steel shackle for cut resistance2 in.

In that case, the padlock is not strong enough for storing valuable items like the laptop or camera. Those wheely deals are not secure at all. One of these would be much better.
> I am telling you NOT all combinations of text are possible through automation of ANY kind including brute force random number generation
All combinations up to any finite length. Per
wc -c, the Project Gutenberg works of Shakespeare file I downloaded is 5,589,887 characters long. So let's take a nice round six million as a target length.Now consider a combination lock like this one, with four dials on the bottom. Since every dial can take one of 10 values (digits 0-9), four dials gives us 10^4, or 10,000, possibilities. Yes, random sampling, given enough time, would saturate that set of possibilities. The probability of any given one of those 10,000 options being chosen is 1/10,000. An infinitely long process just randomly choosing settings will open the lock eventually. We don't need random sampling to get any number, rather any number in a finite set of possibilities.
Now mentally consider a lock whose dials also have letters and punctuation, plus a space. There are 95 printable ASCII characters, and we chose a target length of six million characters. So there are 95^6,000,000 possible printable ASCII files 10^6 characters long. A big number, sure, so the probability of any specific outcome is 1 over that number, just as before. A small probability for each number, but still non-zero. Any non-zero probability converges to a probability of one as the number of tries converges towards infinity.
Consider too the ordering. Any ordering of his works would still be his works, just in a different order. Per Wikipedia's page,
>>His extant works, including collaborations, consist of approximately 39 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems
39+154+2 is 195, and there are 195! ways (the factorial of 195) ways of ordering 195 works. That's a pretty big number, 2.59 x 10^363. So that many of the 95^6,000,000 possible 6-million-long-character ASCII files would still constitute being "the works of Shakespeare."
I'd recommend reading The Library of Babel, in this collection or this one by Borges for a great literary exploration of this idea. For a more rigorous approach to the mathematical ideas Borges explored, I'd recommend the fascinating book The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges' Library of Babel.
case + locks = locking case
Something around 10-20$ would be good. I am just really paranoid because someone broke into my locker once and when try to do research for locks, there were only guides to cracking them.
