Hey folks, not sure if you heard about this one or not, but thought I'd let ya know cause I found it to be interesting. I was browsing around online, and came across a page on a forsale website, that talks about how to pick a Kryptonite U-lock with a regular ink pen. I thought it may be bumpkiss, but I pulled out my U-lock key, and matched it up to the generic Bic in my pocket, and sure enough, it's the same size. Now sitting here at the computer in less then a minute I was able to successfully open my BRANDNEW U-lock. Damn it. $40 bucks flushed down the drain. Looks like bike theives are going to add a pocket protector to there new aresenal of theft tools.
