the lock wasnt left coiled as a present — since it could provide some forensic evidence in the near nil chance that the cops found the tool and the bike and the thief. the way you steal a cable locked bike is — so i was told when i lost one — you cut the lock, which is doable with a one handed tool!!– and then you circle the block or walk away and return and then get on the bike and take off
I was at the Freddies in NE on 27th last Monday and on top of the trash can beside the bike parking was another “coiled up as a little present”.
I thought most people already knew that CABLE LOCKS DON’T WORK.
Sorry about your bike. 🙁

Thanks for the info guys, and I learned the hard way about cable locks. I did keep the “lock” as a reminder.
In response to the theft, I’ve bought and carry the heavy duty “New York” style lock by MasterLock. This lock is HEAVY!
