What to do about sabotaged bike locks

giskard · 2015-08-02T09:32:27+01:00

I leave my bike locked on the bike racks at my local railway station between 7am and 7pm and so far I haven't had any problems, but I've heard of people finding their bike locks superglued (or otherwise sabotaged) so that they can't unlock their bike, so they leave the bike overnight and someone comes along later with an angle grinder to work on the lock when there's no-one else around. Is there any way to prevent a lock being sabotaged in such a way? Other than having your own cordless angle-grinder, what other options are there?
