Koohii stories:

1) [ngoli1] 26-9-2007(211): Even if you lock up your GOLD, a DETERMINED thief will get it in the end.

2) [Shibo] 14-3-2008(173): The best stories for this kanji tend to have a thief in them, which always makes me confuse them with the kanji for burglar (357). So, let's try this one: My girlfriend wears a metal chastity belt with a lock but I am determined to open it! I must get inside!

3) [howdycowdy] 3-3-2008(81): A LOCK is metal that is determined to keep intruders out.

4) [pazustep] 16-7-2008(73): A lock is a piece of metal that will determine who can or can't get in.

5) [hoolan] 2-3-2009(15): A METAL LOCK DETERMINES who can get in.
