Just got bitchlocked in Germany yesterday. Waited for around half an hour but nobody came.
Luckily it was a Chain, so I informed police, got a saw from a workshop nearby and re-linked his chain with my d-lock, leaving a note that I will come to get it in the evening (so he could take his bike at least while leaving the locks) when I came back, bike was still locked but I brought a super cheap Eurostore chain lock to link it back together.
A little bit of a hassle but I think it was an honest mistake and worth the work from my side because mistakes happen and it was quite a nice Bergamont Gravel bike.
Just thought I’d share to show how you can still leave bitlockers bike at least a bit secured.
