out when. march 8, 1971, frazier and ali were fighting for the championship of the world. and we had the feeling that maybe the cops might be a little bit distracted. while the crew waited at a nearby hotel, forsythe arrived at the office alone. pull up, walk up to the door, and one of the locks is still a tumbler lock. and i just about had a heart attack. bottom line is, i could not pick that lock. they almost called it off. but that second door that bonnie noticed gave them another chance. at that point, you know that you re going to have to wing it. knelt down on the floor, picked the lock in like 20 seconds. there was a dead bolt on the other side. i had a pry bar with me on a short crow bar. i put the bar in there, and yanked that sucker. at one point i heard a noise inside the office.

the office alone. pull up, walk up to the door and one of the locks is a cylinder tumbler lock and not a pin tumbler lock. i just about had a heart attack. i could not pick that lock. they almost called it off but the second door bonnie noticed gave them another chance. at that point, you know you are going to have to wing it. knelt down on the floor and picked the lock in 20 seconds. that ir was a deadbolt on the other side. i had a pry bar with me, a short crowbar. i put the bar in and yanked that sucker. at one point, i heard a noise inside the office. i m like, are they in there waiting for me. basically said to myself, there is only one way to find out. i m going in. next, the inside crew walked into an empty office wearing business suits and carrying several suitcases. they cleaned out file cabinets and then made their way down stairs to the getaway car and drove off unnoticed.
