How to break the lock on my bike without looking like a theif?

JackieChang · 2017-12-20 19:31:37

My bike lock was tampered with and I can't get the key into it. It's locked up on a very busy street. Any advice? I don't have any tools that can cut through it. The barrel seems damaged so I don't think a lock smith will get in there either. It's a cable/wire sort of lock, not too robust. I'd say a good solid fence cutter…

Got through it with a hacksaw in the end.

I knew that it wouldn't take much.

Now that you know how rubbish your old lock was, best get a decent one

So, it turned out not to be a gunfight, after all.
