As posted, the "tube" locks are used in many other things. Example, many of those "el cheapo" gun safe use this type of lock. I'm more worried of a thief breaking in to a home and getting something out of a gun safe then a bike....

Before this story, maybe a limited few people knew of this "trick". Now, everyone knows. And people posting quick tricks to make the pen fit doesn't help.

Are you better off knowing that this type of lock can be defeated that easily? This information is a double edged it can help you, but also put to at risk..... Oh well, the damage is done.
