Bike lock?

Stihl are win for cutting anything. If you can cut 6 inches of concrete/rock/tarmac with no trouble then a bike lock is nothing for a pro scally. The stihl 880 i use at work can cut through 6ft of solid oak without skipping a beat. You can do anything with the right tools.
You can protect to some extent against poorly equipped opportunists(ie using all the advice/techniques/approved locks as explained on this fine forum), insure and hope for the best. Not a whole lot more you can do.

My point is this, would you leave £500 in cash in a metal briefcase chained to a lamp-post - if not why leave a £1000 bike in the same place.

Now now don't be a lazy susan Stuart.

At the end of the day.. when all is said and done.. Etc. Etc.. Yadda, yadda despite the most excellent and comprehensive research done by GA2G and many others here I think we all know that you can spend £15 or £150 on a lock but if the thieving cunts want your bike.. They'll fucking well have it.. It's sad. But it's true. Each new lock that hits the market is just another challenge to your common and garden cocksucking bike thief..

Er, Brave, you've been on here about a month, and that sweeping statement (I think we all know that you can spend £15 or £150 on a lock), ignores some things that have been learned, and suggested.

For example:
No bike that has been properly***** locked with FAGH Mini has been stolen.
Attaching an alarm disc-lock to the chainring, if within earshot, WILL save your bike.
Leaving a bike in a communal hallway, without an alarm lock, is potentially disastrous.
Leaving a bike outdoors overnight, is potentially disastrous.
16mm diameter U-locks cannot be cut by armstrength.
18mm diameter U-locks have the best record (any bikes stolen when locked with them, were locked badly).

In other words, if the bike owner is very conscious of the security of their bike, and takes the advice
gained from others on this forum (ie. in HOW to lock their bike), their chances of successfully
retaining the use and ownership of their bikes, are high. Forewarned is Forearmed.

granted
