Having lived 10 years in The Netherlands m(NL), I'm pretty sure that the photo was taken in NL and they will steal any bike there. I worked at a multinational oil company and I needed a cardkey to access the building, the parking lot and the bike shed. Inside the locked bike shed, the bicycles were secured with high end locks, and there were still bicycles stolen there. When I commented on this to my Dutch collegues, they said that in NL, you weren't a man if you had never stolen a bicycle.
#8- I've seen someone try to heat the airspace beneath the cork with a lighter to increase the internal pressure and pop it- not sure how well that works- I have used a long deck screw with success- GM

ReplyDeleteWhere would we redneck engineers be without bungee cords, duct tape and vise grips? Might add WD-40 and baling wire to that list.
