the story about the CCTV and speaking with the arresting officer is hardly 'documented', I wouldn't characterize it as proof either. I'd like to actually see a police report, or even a videotape of an actual theft or something. I too am skeptical that this bic thing is really such a big problem; but at the same time i won't tempt fate, and have gotten a new lock. The reason I'm skeptical, is because I tried to bic my own lock. I understand there's probably a knack to it, but I spent a good 45 minutes on the stupid thing. I guess a life of crime is not for me

But because there is no documented proof of an actual theft, I wouldn't argue that it's not a threat. At the least I've seen that it is possible (even though I can't do it). That is sufficinet for me to find a better lock.
