Bobby Pin (Fallout 3)

The bobby pin is used for lockpicking. It replaces the Lock Picks from Fallout 1 and 2. The bobby pin is weightless, so it uses up no room in your inventory.

Like all weightless objects, the bobby pin's weight to value ratio is infinite, but even a character with a very low Lockpick skill should not dispose of them.

Locations

 * Bobby pins can sometimes be bought from the wasteland scavengers Crazy Wolfgang and Tinker Joe.
 * Moira Brown and most other merchants in the game can also have Bobby pins in their inventory for 2-3 caps each.
 * They are often found on ghouls and raiders, and can also be found on bedside tables inside the intact houses across the wasteland.
 * They are also found in First Aid Boxes.
 * Bobby pins are often found in safes or other places where you have to pick the lock, so they will usually be replenished if 2 or 3 have been broken.
 * Above Rockbreaker's Last Gas is an abandoned shack up on the top of a cliff. In this shack there are approximately 20 bobby pins for the taking with no loss of karma (it also contains Victory Rifle in a Very Hard locker).
 * Can also be found in some cash registers. A good place would be Super-Duper Mart.
 * A good place that guarantees them is the dresser in Amata's room during the quest Escape! and in the small ranch in Springvale with Silver.
 * Can be found in ant refuse piles as well as other random items like darts.
