This looks like a great idea at first. My son rides bike to school and this would be good. Not so sure now after reading some of the reviews. Doesnt sound like its easy to get your money back either.

I bought one of these from this guy last year:

Pretty well made and the sensor mechanism works pretty good. IIRC it was around $35 with shipping?
Loud and annoying too.
For most situations I use a Kryptonite NY fahgeddaboutit U lock in conjunction with a cobralinks Jr armoured cable. (now discontinued, a high end US made brand that used to be sold at harley dealers)
Because the best lock is two different kinds. (most thieves specialize in one type of lock and will carry tools for it only)

Sandra,

I’d send it to you, but I don’t have it.

I returned all of the Lock Alarms. I got credit for the unopened ones, but they didn’t give me credit for the one that was opened, they didn’t return it and they stuck me with postage.

I would avoid doing business with this company.

Trust me, you wouldn’t have wanted it. It would have been a waste of my time to mail it, a waste of resources to deliver it, a waste of your time to discover what I’d already found and it would have ended up yet another object in the landfill.

Here’s an update: a check from Graveyard Mall showed up in the mail this week. They gave me a refund for $49.95. That meant that they didn’t give me credit for the one that was opened, didn’t return it and stuck me with postage.

I guess I should be happy to have gotten the $49.95 back.

Let the buyer beware.
