Don't the local herberts know the answer?

Ask a plumber first, but the local BRM (Bicycle Repair Mechanic) says the herberts walk around with portable angle grinders, which apparently defeat most D-locks except the really expensive ones, which, of course, he sells.

For further completely useless information see:

This also reveals FG's true identity.

Did I say buy a car? No! You decided to ride a girly vespa when you could have got a propper bike!

So f*** you mush, typical uni person can't read.

Firstly, what kind of useless hacksaw and or arms do you have that that method failed.
Secondly yes a jack will pop it open in most cases.
Thirdly you can open lots of those ones with the circular keys with the tube off a felt tip pen.

I suspect he's got it off by now. Or it's rusted off, IN THE 14 OR SO YEARS SINCE THE EVENT

Thanks for pointing out the time gap. I was surprised anyone still uses a D lock.

They stopped selling in late 2003, when it was openly revealed on the internet how easy they were to break open.
