If you were the kind of person that would want to steal a bike, would you:

A. Spend $2 on a bolt cutter.

B. Spend hundreds of dollars on technical equipment in order to potentially be able to unlock a very unusual type of lock that you could have gotten to with option A anyway.

Or C. Download an app that will unlock high end bikes with no visible breaking in at all.

C would be a popular option if this type of lock was common and had vulnerabilities.

As always social engineering works far better than tech engineering, watch the guys try and help the girl steal a bike.
