I should have bought a better lock.
The salesman told me that despite the TRU-LOCK brand's cumbersome appearance and weight, it was just a $20 lock and not much of an obstacle to a professional bike thief.
I should have listened.
When I returned to the hitching post on Queen st west on Sat April 5th, my beautiful brand new Marin San Raphael was gone. There were however metal shavings on the cement - silver and black metal filings. These shavings, my CSI viewing and experience informed me, were from the TRU-LOCK putting up some resistance. The theft was conducted in broad daylight between the hours of 12:30pm and 3pm Sat afternoon - their must have been dozens of people walking by during the lock removal operation. Of course I wish I had been one of them.
Where are these bikes sold? How does it work? And how can we stop it?
