Drop rate for crafting items?
I think they said it's 10% for lockpicks, which is pretty close to what you've got. Criminals spawn quickly and are all over the place. You should have no problem getting them.

I've had really poor luck with lockpicks as well.. took me almost a day to craft the botanical gardens.. but I'm also having bad luck with phones.. have only gotten 1 after clearing almost half my friends list.
