Grrrr...!
A while back I decided to get a combination cable lock to use instead of the chunky chain and padlock I was using. It was basically easier to use, especially where there's only a drainpipe to lock to.
Last night the damned thing wouldn't open. It has, once, changed the number without me doing anything, but fortunately I noticed that and spotted what had changed. I think that's what happened again. But there was no way I could work out the number. So there was a call home for delivery of (chdot's) bolt cutters.
Positive of the experience:
A security guard from my work came round to check my ID (after presumably seeing me on CCTV).
Negative of the experience:
It took roughly 7 seconds to get through a cable that, allegedly, was rated 7 out of Masterlock's scale of 10; and obivoulsy I now don't have the lock.
Found the key to my old chain, so that's nae bother (can't find the key to my old D-Lock).
Boooo to Masterlock!
