About 16 years ago my bicycle got stolen from the bike rack at my apartment, lock and all.
6 or 7 months passed and one day something caught my eye as I was getting home. It was my bike, returned to the same rack. The lock was missing, but otherwise it was in good shape.
This just happened to me. I can not fathom how they stole it with my big chain lock through the bike frame and the wall mount. Guess I'll wait a few months for it to return. But I can't explain how they took it.
If I've learned anything from the Lockpicking Lawyer, it's that most locks are pretty easy to defeat. Bike locks are just increase how long it takes to steal a bike.
Chains are easy. A simple pair of bolt cutters can get through fairly thick chains. A parent of wiser care giver is often the reason they get returned.
