Doesn’t work, you can shim that thing right off and get a free grenade!
But the thief is lockpicking lawyer, might actually defuse the grenade as well.
Afterwards providing a few comments about why the Whipit brand hand grenades are easily defeated. But never quite telling you which brand of hand grenade he would recommend (Grenadables, obvs)
If my knowledge about grenades from videogames is correct, you can just put a pin back in, if you kept the handle closed since pulling the pin.
Haven’t heard that name in a while. He used to help people with their homework on reddit, it’d be cool if he came over here.
The grenade ring is just like a key ring. Hold spoon, pull pin, twist ring off the lock, re-pin grenade, walk away with your new grenade, and enjoy.
That’s a lot of trust on my butter fingers while trying to manipulate tools with my other hand…
get some tape?
How is he gonna manipulate tools with some tape?
The weak-willed see a deterrent, while the enterprising see a guaranteed way to get rid of the lock.
But probably the bike too. This is really the most fun for people who want neither a bike nor a grenade, and also don’t want OTHER people to have either of those things. I can’t remember which logical operation that is, NAND?
I don’t understand… If you get the lock off of the bike, then you get the lock off the grenade pin, no? What am I missing? Or is the idea that they don’t notice this whole thing and try to ride off and that automatically primes and drops the grenade? Then you still don’t have a bike. I don’t get it. :/
“If I can’t have it, they can’t either”
I’m with you…
Cut the lock shackle, remove lock from brake and ring… Nothing happens??
Or if you’re paranoid, cut the grenade ring first, then cut the lock.
The design is very human
Cap your valve stem!
Is this what the kids mean by “no cap”?
Great way to get your bike stolen by cops.
Hello, this is the Lockpicking Lawyer, and today we’re going to get spicy
Just hold the spoon down and put the pin back in after?
Just wrap tape around it to hold the spoon in place, pull the pin, leave the taped grenade, and take the bike.
And pass up the free grenade??
Yeah, screw the bike, I want the grenade!
Bike’s worth a few hundred dollars tops at a pawn shop, whereas a grenade can get you a hundred thousand dollars out of the nearest bank.
And if you don’t throw it, a few other banks as well.
*Pending police interest
Does it work though…? I don’t see any way that the pin for the grenade comes out when you cut the lock. Am I missing something?
Just throw it
When the thief cuts the lock, the falling grenade might stub their toe.
I’m pretty sure this is illegal.
Perhaps, but it might be illegal
