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.

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 1 or 2 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.
 * Trogs often carry one or more bobby pins or a random loot.
 * 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). The amount of bobby pins is dependent on your level. Sometimes there can be no bobby pins (for example at level 13).
 * 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 quests Escape! and Trouble on the Homefront and also in the small ranch in Springvale with Silver.
 * Can be found in ant refuse piles as well as other random items like darts.
 * After inspecting a locked item, the next enemy that is killed has a good probability of carrying one.

Appearances
The bobby pin only appears in Fallout 3.
