Locks are mostly useless against professional thiefs, wouldn’t spend too much money on a lock – but don’t buy the cheapest 10kuai lock at walmart either!
I think you are mistaken about this – a high quality lock will deter thieves. They can easily identify a cheap lock, and will get through those easily. I have an Abus lock made in Germany that I bought from Natooke and no one has ever even attempted to get through it. But if they did, from what I understand, it would be extremely difficult. As in, require multiple massive tools and a lot of time hacking away at it. I’ve never heard of a high quality lock that’s been gotten through in China – all of the bike thefts I’ve heard about (and there are a lot for sure) are one of the situations described in this post:
– Bike not locked
– Locked with a cheap lock
– Locked with a good lock but not locked to anything
If you have a bike that costs more than 1k rmb, I would consider a decent lock to be totally necessary.
