But even so, an angle grinder would have to put itself to work on my lock. I had to get that lock, otherwise an insurance claim would be invalid in case the bike was stolen. Or so the bike store sales woman told me. 😬 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cordyceps@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) This was my logic as well.
