Do Nice Bike Get Knicked?

This is intriguing. Please could you tell us exactly which makes and models these £100 each locks were? The very, very, very best locks are priced from around £40-£70**. **Though these prices are from internet shops, and I do recognise that they are much more expensive if bought in a street based bike shop.

You see, I've heard a similar story before in this forum, and when the details emerged, the truth was a bit different from the initial reports.
Were the locks armoured cable locks perchance?

i am pretty sure they were kryptonite locks (which ones i don't remember). He basically went into Evans (probably mistake number one) and when he bought the bike asked for the best locks they had, and thne bought 2 of them. I pointed out that they covered him for theft if they had been compramised but as they stole the locks as well he couldn't claim. The worst thing was he had bought the bike on credit, and was still paying it back 2 years later, so he got a nice little reminder every month as the payments went out. This was about 4 years ago as well, so i can't remember much in the way of details, apart from the underlying message that a nice bike will get stolen no matter what you do, if they want it bad enough!
