Available now at your LBS: The new Kryptonite Diamond Hardened "Tool Krusher" Fahgetaboutit Lock. Only $2,000!
I hear Nashbar has a 10% coupon right now though.
This has been an interesting thread, aside from a bit of the bickering...however, I always think a bit of skepticism can be healthy. I'm inclined to believe the OP though, especially with Donnamb's vote.
Though I've never had a bike stolen, I've long accepted the fact that no lock is impervious. Any lock is just an effort to make you a harder target than another bike; survival of the fittest, if you will...and while I don't personally subscribe to "social Darwinism" bike thieves are animals...so it is an apt metaphor.
Given that knowledge, I'm mostly interested in the Kryptonite warranty. That guarantee is what TRULY separates locks of a given quality level, when faced with power tools.
I'm eager to hear how the "after theft" protection goes on this one.
Cheers!
