What do we mean when we talk about security?
Despite what many people may think, tamper-proof locks do not exist.
A bike lock is there to make stealing the bike more complicated, to delay the thief and therefore act as a deterrent.
A good lock has an anti-picking lock mechanism and is made out of materials requiring the use of specific tools, making theft more difficult.
