  1. No, its not that I went to H*lfords. And bought a 5minute lock with 30% off. Not that I went on
    holiday but before I locked 3 bikes together with it. All the best ones.

    I placed the key somewhere safe. Very safe. Ohh so safe.

    Worse still I have already done the same thing about 6 months ago, but that time was with a lock
    that only resisted 3 minutes of dulled hacksaw.

    A 5 minute lock? Is that a lock that takes 5 minutes with a hacksaw? If so, and with 30% off, it
    should only take 3.5 minutes? Either that or pop down your local fire station next time they're on
    strike ...

    so this time you're looking to borrow an angle grinder?

    Looks like you need to find a friendly person with an angle grinder. Someone on alt.mountain-bike
    was saying that you can get through a lock shackle with a Dremel.

    We've not heard from that guy in a few days though, I guess he's still cutting ;-)

    I did the same thing at work. During an afternoon shift I took my keys to the vending machine and
    inserted the special yellow key that has money on
    it. After I took out my meal I forgot to take the keys with me. At 2200 I was searching
    frantically for my keys until in the end I took a hacksaw and sawed the lock off , cutting my
    hands in the process.

    At the precise moment I'd removed it there was a tapping on my shoulder as I was told that the
    manager had them in his office.

    Funny you should say that I found one of them in a garage in craignure, Mull - but that was a
    faulty lock.
