You can cut a cable like that with a hacksaw, or boltcutters. It won't
take long.

Ta - I used a junior hacksaw, it took about 3 minutes. Just long enough for
someone to ask me what I was doing, which I guess is it was there for.
Fortunately I could prove that I could remove the other (heavier duty) lock.


Hmm. Social engineering.

Just stick a ulock on someone elses bike, start hacking into their
lock, and someone askes what the fsck you are doing, just show them
"look, it's mine!".

full of potatoes looks like.

Not half as messy as a truckload of oranges.
