yah my knog light got jacked a few nights ago too.

My Knogs have been safe in theft-prone Eugene, but since losing one in PDX when I was away from the bike for 5 minutes tops, I don't like leaving them on anymore.

uh dude you're like 6 years too late on that... new u locks haven't been made with round keys for years now, at least not by any legit brand.

i realize that but they were talking about the master key thing so just put there

the keys from different level kryptonite locks don't look the same, aren't the same shape/size/ etc and have different numbers of tumblers.. so a master key would be some kind of magical device....

so some bum walking around with a bic pen does not hold "master key", because it won't work on 90% of locks out there... kryptonite replaced any of their round-key locks for free after that video circulated.. and still does... so no one has those locks anymore. all they had to do is mail it back and a new one was sent to them. even master lock and bell changed all their u-locks to use a regular flat key.. that being said more people use crappy cable locks than old u locks, so his master key had better be some giant cutters..

Amy, research 'bump keys'.

Posting for a friend:

My cross-bike was stolen from the 39th/Hawthorne Fred Meyer parking lot this past Sunday.

It is a Black K2 Enemy cross-bike - (aka dropped handlebars w/ fat tires). Serial # TK261100259
(Photo attached)

Other distinguishing traits are:

after-market full fenders, also black - (although they could be removed)
all factory installed reflectors on the wheels and frames were removed. it had a removable after-market headlight and back blinker.
spd-sl pedals (although these may get traded out to standard pedals at some point)
pink brake pads - these really stand out and were not original to the bike.

This bike was not sold "over-the-counter" so to speak, here in Portland. If you spot one, there is a good chance it's mine.
Please call Portland Police - 503 823 3333, Case #08-126001.

Bianchi pista 08, 59cm last seen being ridden by a scrawny tattoo'd guy in beaverton, any leads would be appreciated.
merry xmas

I have done extensive research in this field.

i think that keys, though still dirty, are much cleaner than the underneath of peoples fingernails.

white folks:

def much cleaner than the ass crack of a dead hooker...

I dunno man, I clean them up real good before I dispose of them.

i heard you also can pick the new krypto locks,don't know how,but i guess there pick able too.

sailstosea:

^ I hope that's not true scarface.

not trying to bust chops, but did this stolen listing just become a bike check?

I think that my friend was just commenting that she thinks the thieves would probably switch out her pedals to make the bike easier to ride. I'll admit I didn't really proof read her posting.

They can be picked to a point. My friend in Philly locked his bike for 10 min came out and it was gone.He got it back a week later at the same place he lost it from the same pack of kids that stole it. He discovered if you do no turn ALL the cylinders you can unlock the U lock with almost anything or so he says.

oh shit! thats no good at all. but if it comes down to it... the way i figure, if someone really wants your bicycle, they are going to get it.

Are you talking about Jeff? I live in the same neighborhood as him and NEVER leave my bikes outside not even with 2 mini U-locks and a cable. Philly is the bike theft capitol of the US according to Kryptonite. I'm always nervous and squirrelly when one of my bikes is locked anywhere for longer than a few minutes. This city is wearing me down.

white folks:

locks only keep honest people honest.

and two locks makes the bike locked up next to yours more attractive.

p.s. someone stole our tree rim/tire. which is dumb, because the rim is in no way useable or worth any tangible dollar value, and i don't think the tire was that great either. also i don't appreciate people fucking with our art installations.

What the elf is a tree rim/tire?

And someone stole it? That's shitty.

cantstopwontstop:

And someone stole it? That's shitty.

it was just there for decoration. i can't remember whose rim it was.. someone who bought a wheel from doug.. it was taco'd and doug smashed it flat and put a tire on it and put it in the tree..

Don't be ... Just don't lock it up somewhere stupid... Or make sure you lock up next to nicer bikes with crappier locks.

lame........
