This is especially pertinent to guys in the states where the U-lock is popular. Shocking!!! 8O
Read this. (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=66128&page=1&pp=25)
See how it is done here (http://gadgets.engadget.com/entry/7796925370303347/).
Although the video only shows Kryptonite brand locks being compromised, all locks are equally vulnerable.
This is not a rumor or a hoax.. it has been verified by a lot of people with a lot of different locks (read the thread). I know my sources ;) Just a heads up, and keep your bike safe!!
Meanwhile I'll wait for Kryptonite to release a public statement since their website is down (probably hammered hard right now).
