Omg WTF someone stole one my locks off my bicycle. I'm angry but also flabbergasted cause it will not be useful to them ever. There's no way to even recover a spare key without my info 🙄 #sxsw #BikeTooter #cycling
@kitoconnell I will pick open locks if they're on public gates, but I always re lock them afterwards. Key impressioning tools are more common now and with a little skill anyone can make a new key. If I spent a good bit of money on a lock, I would gut it and make it very difficult for even the best pickers to open.
@Underthehighwatermarkc aha that is news to me and does explain why someone would steal a lock. Lesson learned. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yeah, lockpicking has become a lot higher profile hobby in recent years... Though, I have to say, stealing someone's bike lock is bad form at least!
