Pro Level Lock Up Style

Can you tell which one of these bikes belongs to the Unprofessional Cyclist? Just the other day the owner/operator of www.commutebybike.com sent out a distress signal from the Charlotte Uptoon Area to a few of us lucky senior salty CMA members wanting to know of either of us had a spare lock that she could use. Apparently on the one day she actually needed her lock, she had forgotten it at home on the nightstand next to the almost empty bottle of Jack Daniel's and the glow sticks. Never take your lock to bed, at that point it owns you!
I should have told her to put a plastic Family Dollar(gotta love the FD) bag around it and tie it off real good like. The plastic bag method works just like a Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit without all the stupid bulky weight. Plus, who needs keys to keep up with when all you have to do is untie a few square knots?
Don't we all miss John Candy? Vice Grips on that beautiful seat post!?!?
*I made all of the above images with my on board EyePhone Camera yesterday in front of the Mecklenburg County Courthouse. For Clarification: Both Richard and I were there simultaneously on business not pleasure as is often the case...
