Cable Lock Vs Angle Grinder
Discussion
At work yesterday and a young girl had lost the key for her bike lock. Maintenance staff came out with a tiny, portable angle grinder and were through the lock in under 5 seconds !!
It made me think.....you wouldn't even notice if a thief was doing this to your bike on a busy high street. Very little noise and not much to see !

fair enough
depending on the type of disc used, you'll get through pretty much everything with one of these
Packing energy from a 3.0Ah Li-Ion battery that doubles as a counter-balance, the grinder is capable of powering a diamond cutting blade for extended run periods.Running at 10,000rpm, it’s light and easy to use thanks to a slimline body and 1.9kg operating weight.

I had my Condor racer nicked from outside work (on a busy street) by someone with an Angle Grinder (what was worse, I was due to ride the etape 2 days later on it... not great doing the etape on a borrowed bike!). They were filmed on cctv by the office opposite (although they couldn't show me the footage - "data protection" apparently), and the security guard described what happened: guy leant over the bike, long coat obscuring frame and lock. 25 seconds later bike was released and he was off on it.) As it was an expensive bike it wasn't a cheap lock (£60 or so). Lesson learned: never lock a bike in London....
