Unfortunately, bikes aren't stolen by picking the locks. They are stolen by busting and/or cutting the lock.

- ape4 13y agoThat's what I thought too. Maybe this idea (which is cool) can be used elsewhere.
- dfxm12 13y agoStealing bikes is a crime of convenience though, so criminals will do whatever is easiest: pick the lock, cut the lock or destroy whatever the bike is locked to. Ten years ago, Kryptonite made a bike lock that could be picked with a Bic pen. They've changed their design, but a lot of locks are still on the street that can be easily picked, and criminals know exactly which locks can and can't be picked. The benefit of picking a lock is that the act of picking a lock and using a key to open a lock can look very similar to people walking by.
