What if a friend was borrowing it and had to deal with a long arduous process with the police cos someone had shopped them? Not convinced about this one I'm afraid.

If there are two bikes, both locked. One has this device (shown above) on it. The other, doesn’t. Which do you think will be robbed?" Not if the bike without this is some clapped out racer and the othre with this device is some full bounce Santa Cruz - I wouldnt lock my bike up anywhere but you should get my point - they rob whichever bike they prefer the look of - regardless of lock or deterrant - money is money and more is better.

The separate bike lock is attaching to the bike frame anyway. Surely if you were gonna design this thing the flap would just fold up and there would be a built-in lock??? who could be arsed taking it off and re-attaching it (somehow), getting your lock out and locking the bike?? daft what’s that black loop for?

If one really wants to, one can rob anything. Even the Central Bank of Brazil. The thing is making the burglar prefer to rob something else. If there are two bikes, both locked. One has this device (shown above) on it. The other, doesn't. Which do you think will be robbed? Now, if this is of any good, I don't know. Even because, it seems that the passers-by need to know how the device works so they can unsderstand what the numbers mean.

does the pin, placement for the mudguard strong enough to hold stress?
