So I will message you next week.</p> <p>Thanks in advance </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8667#post-87684 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 21:10:41 +0000 recombodna 87684@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I appear to be the resident lock breaker on here but alas am away from the lock breaking scene for a week. If your still in trouble next week I'll free your bike in seconds. Just pm me. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8667#post-87681 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 19:44:45 +0000 Uberuce 87681@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That thought did cross my mind, which like yours is a hellish litre-and-odds of purest amorality, but I reckoned even the daftest of thieves would know that anything of any significance that happens to anyone on CCE is digitally photographed and uploaded to Twitter, Flickr, Blipfoto and sometimes even Kaputnified for posterity with all haste, so you really wouldn't ask for kleptomaniacal help here. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8667#post-87680 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 19:44:15 +0000 biorich 87680@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes because a bike thief's first port of call is a cycling forum. Okay will try with a hack saw it's quite a solid one but a little elbow grease might free it. </p> <p>Already informed police. </p> <p>Thanks </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8667#post-87679 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 19:24:19 +0000 Arellcat 87679@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"I saw a bike I'd quite like. Can someone tell me how to break the lock on it?" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8667#post-87678 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 19:20:49 +0000 DaveC 87678@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If there is room and you have a sissor car jack, this will open it too. Might be worth letting the police know you have lost your jacket with the list of items in its pockets and that you plan to break the lock to get it out, incase anyone calls the police </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8667#post-87671 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 17:07:43 +0000 reikimikey 87671@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is it a very expensive, high quality lock. If not, a simple hacksaw should do the job. My D-lock jammed up outside Sainsburys. Home to get the hacksaw, 10 mins later and the bike was free. Didn't really say much for the quality of the lock, or the security at Sainsburys, but at least it encouraged me to buy a decent lock(s). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8667#post-87658 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 14:31:35 +0000 biorich 87658@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I had my coat stolen with my bike key in it and I can't find the spare key anywhere. The bike is locked up in the stairwell with a U-lock. </p> <p>Does anyone have an angle grinder that I could borrow to free my bike? Either that or advice on how to break the lock?</p> <p>Thanks alot </p>
