Hey all, wondering if others have had similar problem to what I experienced with my Knog Strongman lock. I dropped it (from about top tube height, so a few feet) and as seen in photo, the plastic casing cracked. No biggie, or so I thought. I reinserted the key to open it and the mech. no longer turns. It appears the tumbler mech. was contained by the plastic cover and now the lock is now a worthless paperweight.
Seems like a poor design - a thin plastic shell shouldn't be integral to lock mechanism. And, seems like it would be easier to defeat (as in, if a thief cracked most of the shell, it would be easier to jimmy the lock).
I'm not a locksmith so I don't know for sure but wondering if anyone had similar situation? Or had one's bike stolen due to this?
Kinda disappointed in this $100 lock.

* Notes:
*I was going to return it to mfg. claiming a defect but the warranty is 2 years and even if I'm under two years, I don't have receipt anymore
*I posted this in "commuting", thinking more likely audience to have had a lock broken or bike stolen.
