    I usually park my good bike with my good, strong lock in very public places so an angle grinder would probably cause someone to call the police, lol. 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. 😬

      This was my logic as well. Bike got taken off from the front of a busy shopping centre, and nobody had bothered to get involved.

        My roommate got his bike stolen in front of a busy café. When he arrived people showed him where the thief went.

        It took a good minute for the thief to break through the lock in front a busy cafe and no one bats an eye.
