First: the blowtorch.
Second: the boltcutters.
Finally, the coup de grace: the hammer.
Result: smoldering wreckage.
(Another lesson here: do not get in the way of a building manager with a blowtorch.)

Good luck trying this at home
U-locks are tough. Ignoring moral issues, I respect the ingenuity of bike thieves who have the wherewithal to remove U-locks from bikes in public places. For those of us with not-quite-so light fingers, removing a U-lock sans le cle is more difficult. But not impossible.

um, did someone park their bike in the wrong place?
It was posted for two weeks to remove bikes or have them removed for you.
Total harvest that day was about 10 bikes. But of course there were no longer any locks for them, so they were soon stolen to be redistributed about the campus. :)
