| | your right I havent felt an EVO. it looked similar to a fagghettaboutit so I thought itd weigh the same. I realise all looks just buy time. ANY lock no matter how thick heavy and strong, melts away like butter under a blowtorch. That is the kind of lengths organised bike thieves go to, taking vanfuls of bikes. |

| | not at all, you can be very precise with a blowtorch. And you just carry around a piece of stone etc to use as a shield. I think everyone here realises that if someone wants yoru bike they will have it, often it means cutting the railing etc you locked it too. Thieves are ridiculous, theyll risk getting caught, beaten up, police etc and then usually sell the bike for £15 |

Although by Blowtorch you'd need something fairly big with an external gastank (oxyacetylene). Those hand held gas canaster things just wouldn't do it (although they're fine for fitting copper pipes and stuff). But then if you have a van to stick the bikes in you could just leave the tanks in there and run the tubes and gun out to the bit you want to cut. | |

they DO carry around oxyacteylene tanks in the back of a van. Go around stealing motorbikes, scooters, bicycles, construction equipment, pieces of street furniture (for the steel). Ive seen it with myself, and I dont even live in london. | |
