Not really, but a lady forgot her combination on her combination cable lock. She had borrowed some bolt cutters but they worked only to compress the plastic covering. I got my leatherman tool and cut through the plastic, then twisted and bent the wires and they all broke one by one by one. Freaking amazing.

It was still a time consuming activity. I leave my U lock at work & carry a cheap cable lock on my bike in case I want to pop into a store on the way home. I think that lock would have been sufficient protection for my bike against the casual thief for the time I would be in the store

I carry a lock that sends thousands of electrical bolts through the body of any intruder.

Leatherman tools are so great! I have a Crunch I got for $5 from a pawn shop because the guy thought it was broken, I did too, but then after some research figured out how it works and it's not broken at all! If you have a Crunch you know how this could happen. I just got a Fuse because it's a nice simple tool with long enough screwdrivers on it to be useful on electronic equipment. I also have the special Micra that's only sold at Radio Shack, with a real, calibrated, wire stripper, it's like having one of my Ideals in my pocket.

She had a great body, what can I say? It wasn't time consuming at all. Once I saw that one of those teensy weensy wires could bust I was through in half a minute. |
We have caught 10-year old kids defeating cheap cables with a pair of pliers....

Cable locks are like anything else. You get what you pay for. I use them for a secondary back-up to the U lock, or if by itself to prevent a someone from just grabbing the bike and go.
