The lock was locked, and the owner couldn't unlock it, when he gave it to Joe. He said his son had used it, but had forgotten the combination, and that Joe was welcome to have it "as a paperweight." Joe thanked him, and we headed for another sale going on across the street. In just a couple of minutes of fiddling with it, Joe had it open and the combo noted, so then of course he went back and showed off to the guy who'd given it to him, offering (jokingly) to sell it back to him...he said no, it was still a paperweight as far as he was concerned...meanwhile the guy holding the sale across the street was very impressed and asked me if Joe knew how to pick locks or something. I said no, he just likes to play with them if there is a challenge involved, which is certainly true. And a free lock is useful...
