Besides what Ed and Janak said about the general technical expertise of the general population, I find this attitude a bit repugnant.

Should mechanics be able to rip people off who don't know enough about the inner workings of their cars? Is it OK to take advantage of people "dumber" than you because they aren't smart enough to catch on? Is it OK for me to be resourceful, use Google to find out how to bump a lock, then go steal from your house?
