A history of safes and safe-cracking - looks like an cracking read. I'm sure I've come across Hunkin before somewhere in TRW, for some reason I think cartoons in the Observer when I was a kid: his style is familiar, the name as well. Details elude me..

Update: found it. He had a strip in the Observer called The Rudiments Of Wisdom which ran from 1971 to 1985. See also here.

Another update: an interesting paper (2.5MB PDF) on 'Safecracking for the computer scientist' here.
