yunno how when people worry about flying, you remind them that the drive to the airport is more dangerous? that they are concerned about something that is virtually irrelevant compared to other things? that is what this is like.

i can in fact assume that nobody will create a dupe kryptonite key and steal my bike, because they wont. that would be the most convoluted way when they could simply break the lock. you are a locksmith and you cant even make my kryptonite key because you do not have the proper machinery.

also i dont believe that you could duplicate my kryptonite key like you claim, unless you already have the key or access to the inside of the lock, and in both those cases you dont really need to duplicate the key anyways. perhaps you could make some crazy ass wax mold or have a dentist come pour that impression-making juice in there, but cmon, lets be realistc.

one way you could do it is ask to look at somebody's key and write down the number on it and have kryptonite send you a replacement of that number key. but you are not gonna fabricate that key yourself out of nowhere. plus none of this ever happens, thieves just break things.

i do agree that it would be kinda cool to have your house and bike and all kindsa doors use the same key, which you could do with your fancy locksmith key, using a padlock. but i would use that padlock with a chain, not a cable, because the cable of course is a secondary thing only.

of course my point all along has been that your fancy lock is overkill when used with any cable because the weak point is the cable, not the padlock.

pretty easy i think, you have to peek in there between the numbers for something or other. doesnt matter though, because it definitely is quicker to just snip the cable.
