99% of all padlocks would be defeated by a $10 pair of harbor freight bolt cutters.

We know this. We also know most people don’t walk out of the house with a pair waiting to cut them off.

Honestly, a padlock is security for 99% of the people 99% of the time. We know it isn’t perfect, and if it is slightly more convenient, the better for us.
