Its funny cause you could pinch the back and lift the lid off of its hinges
Just like CD cases. Here in the UK you were allowed to return CD's if wasn't opened (like most items really). They put thick shiny security stickers on them. We used to buy CD's, open the cases from the hinges, burn them to my PC then return it for a full refund.
Like bike locks. Very easy to circumvent, but just enough of a hurdle to deter most casual crimes of opportunity.
Locks are to stop honest people.
There are good/better bike locks though.
An angle grinder doesn't care. Just throw on a high visibility vest and carry a clipboard and no one will question you.
Exactly, once in my city they robbed an house but no one even noticed because they were dressed as workers from a moving company
Locks are not made for criminals, locks are made for occasionals after all, 99% of locks are very easy to break in and the 1% is a nightmare even for the owner
Most padlocks can be opened by hitting them a few times.
Not on the better ones you couldn't, but you could trivially pick with with paper clips.
