most part the U lock is much more secure than a chain/cable
and padlock.

Please explain what this NY fencepost method is. IF you do not feel comfortabel explaining it here then e-mail or PM me and I wont divulge the info in the public forums. And no I am not a bike thief, just want to know how the U-lock can be opened once it is locked. Is there a way to prevent the fencepost method from working?
