Hampton via Richmond, first post. There is a mountain bike just outside my APT that has been locked up for almost a year without moving. Krypnonite U-lock. I've heard the rumors that a ball point pen can crack a u-lock can anyone help me out? I would love to have a mountain bike to fix up. Thanks.

P.S. - I am not trying to "steal" a bike. This bike has not moved in over a year so I figure it has been abandoned. I put a note on the bike indicating that I would like to have it if no owner stepped forward and no owner stepped forward.
