    The only good thing about this is it can make your bike safer by locking up beside them.

    Every cyclist who values their bicycle should be made to watch Hal Ruzal on YouTube, explaining how to lock your bike properly.
    I had never even thought of locking techniques until I watched a couple of his videos.

    Their disc might have worn out, or the battery. These decent U locks usually need 2 full cuts to get off, as they cannot just twist off easily.

    I saw a video of a skilled guy with a top of the range portable grinder with a cutting disc and the large battery was nearly used up. The scum here are nicking grinders out of aldi/lidl and are unskilled (takes longer and uses more disc & battery) and could be using grinding discs (not cutting ones).

    If I was a pro thief I would not touch an ebike, far too heavy and expensive to get going again if you need a new computer and charger, if the battery was gone to then no way I would touch it with a barge pole!

    The item we cannot mention is said to sell for £300 in scrap yards in the UK, I could fit a rake of them in a bag.
