You hear about bikes being stolen almost every day but what i dont tend to hear about is what they were locked up with (if anything)
Sometimes they are stolen from cars or in a shed, garden or house but were they locked?
So, have you ever had a bike stolen and what type of lock did it have
A) Nothing!
B) Any type of cable lock
C) U or D lock
D) Heavy duty chain and lock
I'm hoping that nobody will report having a bike stolen secured with C or D
Mine was secured with my house. Scrotes kicked the back door in 👿
Only bike I ever had stolen was secured to metal railings by 2 D-locks on works property - came out to find two neatly angle ground locks and no bike - 'security' guard on car park saw nothing, heard nothing 😯
hilldoger that really sux, was hoping there wouldnt be any posts like that, though getting your house broken into is scary stuff
Total three stolen.
One A) Nothing
One C) D-locked to itself
One B) Cable locked to other bikes
🙁
B
everyone I know who has had a locked bike stolen had it locked with a cable lock
cable locks are useless, can easily be cut in seconds, there was a bbc programme about bike theft in london a few months ago but it is still on youtube somewhere was really interesting.
D locks are the best, mainly as a deterrant but any lock can be beaten
D lock secured to metal fire escape in what I thought was hidden work/ hospital courtyard 🙁
Had 2 stolen from the garage, at the time
A.
Now
Lots of different D & C's aswell as alarm and CCTV.
Had my commuting bike nicked, I wasn't using my normal lightweight lock that day though, the bar stewards got through [url= http://tinyurl.com/3bygemk ]this thing from Abus[/url] The effort it must have taken made me think that they probably deserved the bike!
The bike was worth less than the cost of the lock too!
