Lock wouldn't unlock - aaargh!

How's bike watch this morning?

Probably nicked for trying to recover his own bike. Help push the crime detection figures up.

Nah! Not a chance the police aren't interested in bike crime.

Does anyone within the parish work for the local council?
Can we get a CCTV on the poor bike

I believe the OP is not interested in the bike anymore, he is in love with the lock & is having a clandestine affair with it, hence his reluctance to damage it in anyway. Wednesday is just a rouse, what will happen then is the mechanic is going to cut the bike frame in half along with the railing in order to release the beloved lock.

But you've got to remember that he's already enquired about removing his bike, so they're aware of the fact that someone wants to remove it. The easy part is just happen to have an officer, that is unaware of what has been said before, walk down the street whilst he's cutting the lock.
100% detection rate, having caught him in the process as well.

A while ago I walked a mile holding bolt croppers to 'release' my wife's bike (jammed cheap D lock) cut it free (surprisingly easily) put the bolt croppers in the basket and road a ladies town bike back to my house.... without anyone questioning my actions

You look good in a dress i am told ;-)

 

[classic33]

Was the bike there, today, complete & without any damage to it?

 

[swee'pea99]

Yup. A bit chilly (it is Italian after all), but bearing up.

 

[classic33]

At least it doesn't seem to mind the rain. Any idea on how you're going to liberate it yet, hacksaw, boltcutters or angle grinder?
Have you given any further thought to "raking" the lock?

 

[Fnaar]

Any chance the bike can have its own Facebook page? It might go viral, and people will be queuing up to liberate it for you!

 

[Rustybucket]

Facebook is for losers. The bike is too cool for that!

 

[Tribanite]

I wanted pictures of this poor defenceless bike being held against it's will. We are with you brother.
I expect a liberating picture,so we the people may see that justice has been served and the innocent have been freed from their shackles eace

I hope the bike recovers from such a traumatic experience, maybe some sessions are needed.
