How to cut open a bike "D" lock with an angle grind.

1. The problem - somebody tampered with the lock on my new bike at night while it was locked outside my flat, leaving the lock in an un-openable state.

2. I got this bad boy from Argos (UK store that sells everything) for £15. Also went to a hardware store and got some protective eyeglasses, a mouth and nose guard, and some ear muffs.

3. It took about two minutes to get to this stage. There are a lot of sparks flying out of this thing during the grinding, so the protective eyewear is definitely needed.

4. The lock after five minutes.

5. Problem solved!
