Beware bike thieves.  There’s a new sheriff in town and his name is SkunkLock.  With the growing number of people using bikes to make their way around the city, bike theft has become a major problem.  Sometimes they just take the seat or a tire but many times, thieves cut the locks and steal the entire bike.  The new locks have a hidden surprise.  When you get 30% of the way through, you hit a chamber that releases a concoction so vile it makes you hurl.  The effects of the formula is immediate.

Now, the first thought you might have is that thieves could merely cut the chain but there are many chains that cannot be cut with bolt cutters and a hacksaw takes too much time, therefore, the lock is the only way to free the bike.   Daniel Idzkowski and Yves Perrenoud invented the lock and they founded the company using Indiegogo.  The money flowed in quickly and they were in business.

Idskowski said:

“It’s pretty much immediately vomit inducing, causes difficulty breathing. A lot of similar symptoms to pepper spray.”

“At two feet it was pretty bad.  It was absolutely vomit inducing in 99 percent of people. At five feet it’s very noticeable and the initial reaction is to move away from it. At 10 feet it’s definitely detectable and very unpleasant.”
