  1. My bike was locked up by security for parking in the wrong place
    etc..... I was lucky and the dork didn't snap the padlock closed so I
    just undid the chain and sped off. Question: is there a small hand
    saw/chain link cutting tool I can carry in my trailer(not for thick
    chains, this was a wimpy little chain he used) that I can buy and carry
    in case some dummy tries this again?

    Sounds to me like your stealing bikes. Don't be an [censored].

  5. This guy is asking how to cut bike locks! I would hope nobody gives him
    any ideas.

    Not to put too fine an edge on the comment...

    Have you considered the idea of parking where you won't have to worry
    about this issue?

    That said, consider yourself lucky that the chain was wimpy the first
    time. If you carry a cutter that's capable of snipping the wimpy
    chain, it may work *once*. I can just about guarantee that the
    second time, you'll be up against a thicker, tougher chain...and
    there's likely to be surveillance watching to see who's the perp
    that's been destroying their chains.

    This is just about certain to be an escalating conflict. The only way
    to win is not to play.

    A better solution might be to not park were you shouldn't, and that way
    security will not chain up your 'bike

    48" boltcutters work well on most chains but if your trailer is big
    enough you may want to consider a good quality 16v chopsaw with a
    metalcutting blade. Of course, *next* time those killjoys might lock
    your bike- trailer and all- inside of a building so you should probably
    invest in a good set of lockpicks and the training to use them. There
    could be video surveillance of the building so be sure your lockpicking
    class includes a section on disabling video surveillance cameras.
    Alternatively, you could just lock your bike where you can do so
    legally.

    Maybe the next time he takes your wheels, seat, ect or just stomps it
    cause you are pissin' him off.

    This must be a troll, hope you aren't hungry anymore.
