what about this thing?

seems to be the current winner. there's a video showing them grinding through it, and it takes them a good second (if they made it seem like you couldn't, you'd know it's a scam). is kind of expensive, but one pound or less. i'd like them to offer a guarantee like kryponite, but i don't see one mentioned on their website.
anyone have any negative comments about this thing or know something better?
thanks!
Not specific to Chicago, but lock appearances can matter as much as time to defeat. I considered that lock until I found a Kryptonite mini 7 at a good price.
How and where you're locking your bike is useful for recommendations. I'd consider that lock for a secure garage during the workday, or to leave a nicer bike locked in public for up to an hour.
Google is your friend. When considering a lock, simply search for "x lock defeated". Make your own determinations.
