    Ah that sucks! good thing i dont have one. They should have to give you
    a new one. A bic proof one. Good thing the guy who stole your wheel did
    know that.

    Nick (shadowuni) Must remove the krytonite sticker from his MUni frame
    like right now.

    Coincidentally, you can also bust open a bic pen with a krypnotite lock.
    Very weird.

    In a very strange turn of events, it was also discovered you can bust
    open a Bic pen with a Kryptonite lock. Very weird.

    A radio piece on this said that Kryptonite IS replacing locks.
    I guess I will try to call and find out if that is true.

    I just called Kryptonite
    437 Turnpike St
    Canton, MA 02021
    Phone: (781) 828-6655 (opted for customer service)

    They told me that on WEDNESDAY they will post directions on their site
    related to "exchanging/upgrading/replacing" the faulty locks with new
    ones.

    Hopefully the company will take the loss on this one and replace the
    locks charging the user for shipping both ways.

    /buys guaranteed stuff like Kryptonite, Profile, CrossMax by default

    The video shows the U-shaped inflexible steel lock, and the Kryptonite
    site calls them "tubular cylinder" locks, but are any of the other
    styles compromised? I haven't had a chance to look at my lock (in the
    garage somewhere,) but I do know it's a flexible cable type by
    Kryptonite.

    the irony of the situation is that these locks are only now worthless
    because this video has been leaked.

    if the guy that had first noticed it could be opened with a pen kept his
    mouth shut he might have saved himself 90 bucks.
