| Aug 10, 2023 at 6:59 | comment | added | Lundin | When I bought a bicycle lock I checked consumer advise for these and basically they say that no lock will endure an angle grinder in the long run. The difference between locks is how long it will take to saw through them. If you look at premium locks/chains like the ones used for MC, they can resist angle grinder torture for many minutes and angle grinders are noisy. So there's a good chance that the thief will get nervous or wake half the building if the lock is tough to crack. Might be worth looking into before anything else. | |

Yes, I do agree with you about the specific utility being somewhat questionable, but as soon as I'd had the idea, I wanted to know if it could be done! Ideally the signal to me up on the 4th floor wouldn't be to try catch the thief, but to reset all the beeping and flashing and sirens that would have caused them to turn and run immediately. =) | |

Wouldn't triggering a camera be better in terms being able to recognize the villain and reporting stuff to the cops? They seem to work nicely with tigers and other animals in their habitat. Even camera warning notices might be somewhat useful. | |
