The InterLock™ - The Lock that Hides Inside of Your Bike

The Interlock Bicycle Security Device is a new invention by another forward thinking inventor and bicycle rider.

This is yet another example of a security product for your cycle that is cleverly hidden inside the frame, reducing the impracticality of those separately hanging D locks and other elaborate chain and padlock systems we all used for the last century.

Simply remove the seat post and feed into the tube and reattach the seat.

Quick Stand N Lock - Bicycle Security Product With A Difference

The Quick Stand N Lock is a novel concept bicycle lock that might appeal to bicycle owners everywhere. The concept involves the typical bicycle stand used for a great many years by many bicycle manufacturers.

The true portability of this product design is such that, unlike other bicycle locks, that require a separate connectable device that often needs to be strapped to the bicycle, the Quick Stand N Lock is connected in place of the existing stand and locks in place through the bicycle wheel spokes. This prevents the bicycle from being ridden away.

This is still a concept design product, however it certainly is a new and novel way about thinking of bicycle security, no?

BMWs made before September 2011 at risk of theft from $30 cloned key-fobs (but company says it is 'not legally obliged to help out')

An enterprising gang of car thieves were caught last year on CCTV showing them succeeding in stealing a pre-2011 model BMW motor car.

According to the article, thieves are generally able to go online to any number of asian internet sites and purchase the required materials for around $30.00 and then program their own key to your vehicle.

The kits come with the fob, instructions etc that make this kind of modern day car theft all the more easy.

Essentially, almost nothing is thief proof today. If a determined thief wants in, they are getting in.

BMW claimed in a statement to The BBC that they are "not legally obliged to help out" but later followed up with extra tips to thwart theft of their more modern vehicles.
