Reminds me of all the TV stations in the early 80's showing how to unlock a Toyota Truck with a pencil!

That makes me sick to think a company has made millions and you guys show there security is as good as me leaving a shiny poo on my rear rim.

Too late, There was an article in my local newspaper about the problem. They are having a redsign.

Gentlemen, I tried the bic pen trick on both of my Kryptonite locks, it didn't work on either one. One is a 5-year old cable lock, the other is a 6-month old EV disk lock. Don't panic, go into the garage and check yours yourself before you throw it away.
