Have a nice day.
Where are the hard facts of high-end locks frequently being defeated on the streets? Please, show me something aside from a 'I know it happens'.
Your posts sow the kind of paranoia that keeps newbies from locking their bikes in public out of an irrational fear. Someone not educated in bikes and locking in public would be mortified if they read threads like this. The fact of the matter is that modern high-end locks are damn secure, and when used properly the chances of them being defeated on the streets is extremely small.
