The lock is good but on a scale of 1-12 (12 being safest) this lock rates at a 7. This is Kryptonite's scale, not mine. Since I live in a downtown, sea-side area, bikes get stolen all the time. I use this lock in addition to a thick cable lock. Between locking the bike frame to a solid object using this lock, I intertwine the cable lock (figure 8 style) through & around the frame and through and around the tires. In doing this, even if they break this lock, they still can't ride off AND, they can't steal my tires very easily. Another suggestion... loose the quick release on your seat. It's hell having to stand and pedal if they steal your seat. Don't make it easy on them.
