I've had my Kryptonite Evolution Series4 lock and chain for maybe 6 months and used it exaxtly once. Today I needed it so I locked it around my waist and headed off. When I got to my destination, the POS wouldn't unlock. So it's around my waist, I can't get it off, and I can't lock the bike.

I checked my bike in a local garage for $7, and went into a bathroom where, with a bit of lost skin, I managed to get it off so I could carry it for the next two hours.

It looks like the last - plate? - isn't aligned correctly and I can't get it to shift with a paper clip. So I can't get the key all the way in.

I'll send it back to Kryptonite, but I'm not buying their locks again.

Anyone have any suggestions for fixing it short of returning it?
