Putting oil in locks will make them get stuck in the future. The oil will degrade and absorb all kind of impurities that can cause the lock to malfunction even worse than before.
It is thus only a short time solution and should not be used if you intend to use the lock much longer.
The right lubricant to use is graphite powder. One puff in the lock is usually enough.
You will recognise a professional locksmith by the use of this. Oil = not professional, Graphite = professional.
WD40 is not a long term lubricant but can get locks that are stuck because of old oil moving again.
Desiccated oranges.
What do you expect? It is not orange season.
Shipping oranges from the southern hemisphere works. Of course it has a price in money and pollution. Just buy that what is in season.

I largely agree with you that it is not the dog but the owner that is the problem. But you have to realize that there is a correlation between them, like people that buy a Lamborghini are more likely to be involved in a high speed accident than people who buy a QQ.
The problem is that people that, let say, buy a pit bull terrier, usually are not doing so to prove that these are nice family dogs but do so for the reasons why these dogs are forbidden now.
An other point is that certain breeds which where OK before, like for example the various shepherd breeds, for whom I have as well have good experiences, I was allowed to walk a friend's shepherd when only 4 years old, have changed.
Many of these dogs are not any longer what they used to be. This because of unscrupulous breeding for commercial reasons. The nice and friendly shepherd I walked as a 4 year old is not the same as the shepherd my neighbor bought as a status symbol to go with his Cayenne.
For this reason I support banning breeds. Not because of the dogs but because of the owners.

Kidnapping of a dog in our compound occurred yesterday. The dog was lured outside with a ham sausage and then taken off the compound. Security camera's showed all the action even of the kidnapping lady buying the ham sausage in the convenience store next to the compound.
The dog involved was an Akita, which is one of the forbidden dog breeds in Kunming. Apparently there still is a market for these dogs.
