My bike is stuck i the bike shed at my old digs as i lost the key and im trying to figure out the best way to get my lock off, its stupidly heavy duty and the only thing i can find that might be of use is a pair of 50 quid bolt cutters from B&Q, it does not have a normal lock it has a twisty lock that is like the old "lock keyboard" things on pcs

any ideas?

Ignore the lock, what's the shed made out of? I assume wood.

Good idea.

Never go for the lock. If it's a heavy duty chain lock(hanging from a chain), go for the chain or the place the chain is wrapped around.

I'm no break-in expert, but logic never fails :p

Also if you can break a window, climb in, start thhe bike and drive through the door.

Hey, works in hollywood!

Other options could be locksmiths(if cheaper then cutters) or simply a pole with enough torque(place inside loop of chain/lock and apply force)

So much for the ninja discretion of stealing something without anyone noticing.
