Hi,


My bike is locked up at Herne Hill station but I've gone and lost the key. Has anyone got any tips for opening a D-lock? There is one method on youtube with a pen but I've tried that. If anyone has any other ideas, or thinks they can do it with the pen, or is handy with a battery operated angle grinder please PM me!


See my post below for cash prize challenge!

I was watching TV this week .. Caught Red Handed.. where police were monitoring bike stands

and caught people stealing bikes..


So you can go and do one...


Don't seek popularity by jumping on the slag off Foxy bandwagon..


Haven't you got any homework to do..

Try the bike shop for advice, edwardes in camberwell might be able to help

I have a big powerful angle grinder which you can take and use, I've removed wheel clamps with it before now, no problem, like a knife through butter. You will need to take an extension cable and borrow the use of a socket though or a generator as it's a mains one.


Message me if you'd like to borrow it.

Angle grinder should do the trick or the suggestion of a car jack sounds plausible, if not try Callows locksmiths or Terrys all locks in Crofton Park. Would have thought they could drill out the lock barrel which should release the lock or could try it yourself with a re-chargable drill.

I've had this before. Angle grinder is the key, though you will need to plug it in somewhere. Car jack will not do a decent lock - I broke one and was very apologetic. And yes, the police stopped me halfway through but showing some ID and being awfully polite seemed to do the trick.


Good luck - Free the Herne Hill One!

Angle grinder (knife through butter)

Or bolt cropper (knife through butter)


Used both, once by New Scotland Yard and nobody batted an eyelid. Worrying....


(the story is a nice one, locked bike up many years ago on Vic Street, couldn't find key, retraced my steps etc. A few months later noticed something metalic in my water bottle, some nice soul had put my keys in there after finding them in my lock!)

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
