Idiot proof challenges simply result in the evolution of better idiots.

I'm guessing that a jug of ferric Chloride would probably give it some issues if its ally. Brian

[Brian Gaff (Sofa)]

Or work arounds. I know that the local Cat converter thieves are still pretty active. Brian

Or a drop of Gallium.

The article doesn't say what the cutting disc type was - might be some cheap shit Wunhunglo import. I thought the cutting disc was certainly making good inroads before it wore out. Stainless would have a harder time.

I think the aluminium has just clogged the grits..

[alan_m]

"unbreakable bike locks" many youtube videos showing that you don't have to "break" the lock to get it undone!

Someone will possibly discover that instead of an angle grinder hitting it with a hammer or heating with a blowtorch is more effective.

I'd like to see it with a gas axe.

[Dave Liquorice]

I thought that as well. In either image of the angle grinder there appear to be slots already cut in material behind the blade. The shot of the worn blade as the blade well through the 1/4" or so thickness of the material.

A farmer was telling me that hare coursers will now freeze padlocks with liquid nitrogen then hit them hard and they shatter!...

padlocks

Heavyly insulated vacum flask BWTH...

Seems a bit unlikely to me. Not many padlocks can cope with a long strong pole shoved through the hasp and the twisted against the chain or WHY.

[tony sayer]

Well these guys are modern day outlaws. There're no respectors of other peoples a land or property. i was told that they favoured a particular field over the other the reason was they got a better 4G signal to stream the coursing to those betting on the outcomes!...

[tony sayer]

Well in this location now the gates been smashed so around ten tons of earth and rubble are keeping their vehicles out!..

[newshound]

ROFL!

Trivially fixed by having the padlock inside a steel tube,

[Tim Lamb]

Or by choosing a padlock with raised *shoulders*. Only really works for hasp and staple which may have their own weak points.

[charles]

and how is that held in place? With a padlock?
