Just helped a friend defeat her own lock after someone attacked the barrel during the day as it was locked up. Tried drilling it but previous attackers had made such a mess of barrel that it was a no go.
So ended up with building maintenance team help us dismantle and lower the sign, then take the lot indoors to an engineering department and cut it off. Had a big angle grinder with me + 35m of cable but needed at least another 30m!
Turns out for a £25 lock to have put up a decent resistance. Not to cutting, but the way in which the barrel failed was useful.
