To ALL stolen bikes

Saw an epil fail I had no camera to capture, lunchtime on busy Soho street...

A fat square-section Abus medium Dlock, chopped in two places, about 7 cm missing...

One of those little circular saw thingys I think, there was some singeing at the faec of the cuts.

So no, no locks work at all. For very long.

any lock will come apart with the right tools,
almost all high security motorcycle chains (£100+) can be cut in seconds with just a bolt cropper.

And anything else with a readily available dirt cheap cordless powertool.

Oh, and dont forget you dont have to "cut" anything at all, every lock can be picked with a little practice.

Something to stop the lay man walking off with your ride, is all one should really bother with. Just use common sense and dont leave it anywhere risky for too long.
