The SkunkLock Bicycle Lock Makes Thieves Vomit Paul Watson - AskMen
go to original October 25, 2016

Owning a bike in any major city is a fragile existence. You chain them up, count to 10 and they’re gone, like a magic trick. However many locks you employ, thieves seem to be able to get through them. So, enter the SkunkLock. (SkunkLock)

Two inventors from San Francisco have come up with an ingenious bike lock that can sense an attempt at theft and spray the offender with a noxious gas.

The U-shaped lock contains three pressurized gases, including the nasty sounding "Formula D_1," and once the hapless thief has cut a third of the way through the lock it releases the spray.

The gas has the same effect as pepper spray, leaving the thief gasping for air and needing to vomit, effectively ending any chance of pulling off the bike heist.

The SkunkLock team are planning to crowdfund the device on Indiegogo, and if you donate $99 you will receive your SkunkLock in June 2017.
