Oops. Did you manage to get it free or just ride the other fella’s bike home?

I sent a pic of the bike in an email to our bike users group at work (it's a big organisation) and someone recognised it and got the offender to release it. Result.
It's the second time this same person has done this to me too!

Obviously this person has a crush on you!

Nice Principia

I'm totally failing to see what is bitch locked?

Looks like the Aventon is locked with one d lock on the frame and one around the downtube and front wheel and the Principia isn't locked at all? Does the dlock that's on the downtube of the Aventon also go around the downtube on the Principia?

I'd assume that one of the locks is not Ruserius' lock and that the other party simply locked the wrong bike by accident while leaving their own bike unlocked, or at least not locked with this lock.

Correct, my top tube was locked instead of the Principia's, which was left completely unlocked.

Aw shit, I thought if anything it’d have been the other lock that was there’s! How do you get it that wrong?!

someone at work with a crush?

How in gods name did they manage that?!

obviously they want you to now lock theirs with your lock

you must be new at this

leave a clue in an envelope and lead them on a treasure hunt to your key / desk

Not the best pic, but yes the cable was around the stem.

Here's hoping that thieves don't gain access to Allen key technology.

Bike is mine; nobody nicked it. I was a bit offended.

Short of really strong threadlocker (or welding it all together) how could these hoops ever be secure?

Could drill out the Hexes?

Or bolts with snap off heads like those at https://www.fastenright.com/brand/shear-snap-off

Thanks, might contact the venue with constructive suggestions

My local Wickes just has them sat on studs in the ground with regular nuts holding them in place. Not even nylocs. And they're finger tight. I'd tell them if I thought it would even mean anything to anyone in the store, but I know it won't and it probably won't even get as far as the management.

Clocked this morning
