This lock saved my life

I have this lock for one reason and one reason only, to protect myself from being robbed at work in the middle of the night. A town on the southern side of Arizona. At a convenience store. It has no working locks on the front door. I have to say that he did his job well. I've been with the company for five years, almost six years. This is the place for the latter two in particular. It was never a problem to say. Tell me about the sophomore year history being constantly robbed and note that I don't do the graveyard shift any less myself. What made me want to get the lock was the night the man attacked me and my car in the parking lot. I was fine, a little bruised, but okay, the other guys splattered blood on the front door. I thought that was enough. I'm not going to work this shift without something to lock that door. So I got banned. Since then I have seen someone acting sus in front of cameras. I grabbed the lock, stuck it between the doorknobs and voila. No one will enter unless I see them first. Well, that's exactly what I wanted to do. One night I see a guy hiding from cameras behind the wall of a store, so I grab my padlock, slide it between the bars and snap it shut. A few minutes later a guy comes by. The hood around the bandana, the face is clearly trying to break inwards. I stand ten feet from the door and watch this guy run to the door and wait for it to open. I stand there smiling and laughing at the guy because he looks like an idiot. He's obviously unhappy with it, but leaves anyway. not without sticking a screwdriver in one of the front windows. In a fit. I was so glad I got this bike lock. 10/10 would buy again.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good
