I’m keeping my eyes peeled. If he’s daft enough to keep the gearing the way it is, he’s got no chance if I catch him out and about.If the scumbag saw you chase him there's every chance he's decided to move it on by now
That said, I hope he's stupid enough to think he's safe and that next time you see him he's not so lucky!
Yeah
. With things like these easily available on line, even an expensive lock won’t help if it’s a targeted theft, as this appears to be, as the bolt croppers are a particularly nasty fold up Canadian type that can be concealed in a back pack, and will quite easily go through the bike hoop that the bike is attached to, and the other things are circular lock picks, that can go through even the most expensive lock like a hot knife through butter. But if you want to believe a heavy expensive lock will save your bike against a determined thief, carry on. Make sure you post in here when you get relieved of your bike, I’ll have lots of sympathy for you.Yeah
Still it was the 80's...Had they invented U locks,then?
This is a training video for all us U Lock dummies....Who said cable lock? arghhhhh.
The comments section is particularly useful and another tip...Don't lock your £1m bike down a dark alley.(oooer)
That’s quite right. If someone wants your bike badly enough. They’ll get it. It doesn’t matter which placebo lock you use.Doh.
Trouble is thieving toerags were invented before 1972.
Take it you reported it as a "plannned theft" when reporting the theft.As I’ve pointed out. The lock was perfectly adequate at preventing an opportunist / walk off theft. It wouldn’t have mattered which lock I had, this was a planned job, using tools. No bike lock would’ve been effective. “Stupid”
Of course I didn’t, I only worked that out that it was probably planned later. The cable lock I used was a triple core cable with high tensile steel cores. It would have taken a lot more than “tin snips” to get it off.
