I'm sure you've all heard this before, but prick that I am I've locked my bike in the sideyard at my office and then lost my keys. Conveniently (stupidly) I had both keys on the same keyring so I've also lost my spare. I asked the facilities team at work if they could do anything, they had one of their maintenance contractors have a look into it, he tried to drill straight into the lock and snapped two drillbits in half, then had a half-hearted go with a hacksaw and gave up. Called the nearest locksmith and they said it'd cost me 100 quid plus parking, which is pretty ridiculous seeing as I put my bike together for half that. It's locked with a kryptonite kryptolock series 2.
Any avdice? If you want to scream "pikey thief!" feel free. I don't think the facilities manger would take too kindly to me lugging an angle grinder into work so dunno if that's an option.
