Bic Trick

[chriskaiser]

Yea sure this is old news, but I am just curious if any of you Kryptonite lock owners have tried picking your lock open with a bic pen.

It's quite easy to do, once the pen it stretched to fit right, jiggle, turn, open.

Well anyways, I did the whole e-mail back and forth replacement thing, but the email with the supposed shipping address information never came.

So I still have my faulty lock.

I am just wondering if any of you have gotten a replacement yet, I guess that they, the kryptonite people, must be really backed up.

At the Toronto bikeshare program where I volunteer, they are needing to get 150+ cylinder locks replaced, that will be a heavy package.

I don't use a lock cuz I either never ever leave my rides alone or I'm on my beater, which costs less than a lock.

There's another thread over in the lounge somewhere where we all got our bithc on.

It's been taking Krypto a long time. I think I sent in my email in the first coupla days after Krypto announced their plan, and I didn't actually exchange my locks till early December.

Could always send them another email.
