Just watched a bike theft

A colleague had his bike nicked from the covered area here a couple of weeks ago. IT have got round to retrieving the CCTV and there he is - bold as brass walks up the back of the building, has a quick look then gets down to sorting the lock out. There's no detail of who is he or how he does it, but his 30-40 seconds of activity in a gloomy corner is enough for him to release it and be off the up road on someone else's bike.
That's the first time I've seen that sort of thing happen; less than a minute to open the lock has surprised me. Be wary, and heed the advice about not using cheap locks.

What lock was it?"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got."

Dunno, other than a chain lock as opposed to a D lock.0

like I always say. get insurance and whatever lock they say is OK or get a rat bike."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
