Do you think if I made a fancy video I could get a bunch of idiots to buy some rope I pick up from my local hardware store? Citing that the rope is the best lock because it can't be cut with normal bike thief tools? (Honestly though, some rope is seriously hard to cut, even when using good tools.) Some ropes are imbedded with steel strands that stop cuts made with knives, but the rope part itself (fibrous part) can't be cut by "clamping" tools (like dikes or scissors.) The best (and sometimes only) way to cut them is to put them on a wooden block and chop at them with an axe or cut with a hot knife. Of course, hydraulic shears would work fine as well.

I think I could probably raise a few tens of thousands dollars? Do you want in? We could make so much money.
