Look, Nothing is 100% guaranteed to prevent a thief from thieving, but something is better than nothing, right? I know, we are all going to differ in opinion about which style locks and anti moron gear we prefer, but that's the beauty of it right? We can all have different views on what we think is better, but in the end, they all do the same thing. I simply like this product because it is hard for me to stoop down to remove a chain or a disc lock. We don't have to argue about these things do we? Rather the choice is made out of necessity (As in my case), preference, or down to dollars, does it really matter? Now, lets all shake hands and be friends again. What do ya say fellers?
