Grinder proof D Lock coated with Barronium

[guerney]

Of course many of these tests are carried out in a safe environment, not in the middle of the street where you have the risk of the cops turning up or people phoning them and then turning up or CCTV.

The reality is bike thieves aren't caught, and they know this. Did you miss this video? It's the wild west out there, hardly any non-serious crimes get solved these days.

Looking for a couple of percent of the time to win an argument, ignoring the main points, isnt a conclusive argument.

Who's arguing? We're all simple pumpkin farmer ebike owners keen to discover a lock that's of actual use. The Altor is big, heavy and again, the D is too small to secure it to a large enough variety of secure anchored street objects:

...and if their magic alloy contains boron, it's hard to see it'd put up much resistance, particularly when covering those thin and flimsy band-type locks... which is why I intitially linked the crunchy videos above.

I suspect the lock is a combination of this new outer material over a solid steel core. The outer coat rapidly wears out cutter discs, the steel bar inner against things like bolt croppers. But we already know that the majority of big D locks are pretty much impregnable to croppers, you need 5' long cropper to get through a thick D bar, along with the strength of Samson.
So a combination of the two should make then damned near cut proof.

I see no reason why a gang can't carry around both grinders and croppers. Note the cheap and light hydraulic cutter in the pesky Lockpicking Lawyer's master lock cutting video. Maybe a larger version could do the job?

I'm in favour of a giant single handcuff-like "Grinder-proof" lock, which can be closed around objects large or small; lamp posts if necessary - but without a ratchet. I hope someone makes one, so I can refuse to heave around that heavy bike lock too. I mean... carrying around two D-locks which weigh almost as much as my bike frame, isn't going to happen. Plus they're all too small, and they'd of course be heavier if they were bigger. Until someone comes up with a genuinely useful bike lock, my folding bike goes wherever I do.

Hell, stealing in broad daylight is too much... We need to toughen the penalties for such actions.

It's too late once the crime is committed they get off lightly, it is prevebtioned that's needed in the first place. The country needs a proper police presence on the street to tackle anti social behaviour as that is where it starts.

1 hour 40 mins to cut through i doubt any bike thief carries multiple batteries and grinder blades

"Barronium" (whatever that is)
