What do I do ?

I locked my bike to a pole up town and I lost the key of the lock :mad:

Feeona · 02-02-2012 06:06PM

The poles are having a hard time this week

ask the pole to wriggle out of the lock.

Tell the Guards, do you have proof of ownership?

Havermeyer · 02-02-2012 06:08PM

Use the spare key.

The Pole got a free car from the Social Welfare as soon as it arrived in the country, so just get them to drive you to a locksmith.

Forget about it OP, it's probably already stolen

Maximus Alexander · 02-02-2012 06:09PM

Don't worry about it, nature has a way of taking care of these things.

In about a week all that will be left of it will be a bare frame, bent around the pole, and order will be restored.

Cut the pole down

See if you can bend the wheels now and save someone the trouble later on.

Get a hair clip. Always works on tv and the movies. If not get something to cut through the lock.

Immaculate Pasta · 02-02-2012 06:11PM

That's a pretty scummy thing to do OP. Poor bike, stuck outside in the cold all alone

Back in a while....

You could buy a new lock cheaper than recovering that one?

Flipping Poles, coming over here taking our bikes.

A normal bike lock.

Crooked Jack · 02-02-2012 06:13PM

Dont think you have much choice but to get one of those we steel saws (the wee manual ones, not an angle grinder) and cut through the lock. Or the pole

Can't you just buy a new lock?

How would putting another lock on it help? Make sure the Pole doesn't escape, is it?

SEPT 23 1989 · 02-02-2012 06:14PM

Tell a locksmith that the location of the bike is "up town":D

It's a bit more high security than a normal lock though, sure even the fella who owns the bike can't open it.

Was thinking that myself but if the gards were to drive past i'd be done for robbing a bike :pac:

Leo Dowling · 02-02-2012 06:15PM

Get a slightly longer pole, hook it onto the bike. Push the bike up to the top until it's free. Then get out of the way and let it drop. Simple really.

Or just buy a car.

twowheelsonly · 02-02-2012 06:16PM

Forgive me, but are you worried about the Bike, the Lock or the Pole ??

Raytown Rocks · 02-02-2012 06:16PM

He might help

SEPT 23 1989 · 02-02-2012 06:17PM

I think he has a fetish for poles

Where To · 02-02-2012 06:17PM

If it's a lampost damage it beyond repair and then report damage to the ESB.

When they arrive to replace it reclaim you're bike.

Simple as that.

*this plan could backfire
