A chain-type bike lock, made of mostly magnesium instead of steel. Beneath the magnesium layer is a substance tha burns on contact with air. On top of the magnesium layer is a quick-burning layer to get the whole chain burning at once. If a thief cuts the lock, the inner layer ignites the magnesium,
which melts the bike into worthless scrap. Thus, there's no reason for a thief to cut the lock and try to steal the bike.
(not sure if I posted this before)

Ridiculously dangerous, and equally awesome idea. Bun! |

There may be no reason for a thief to cut the lock, but there's every reason for a vandal to do it. |

It'll hurt people without discretion. What if it's on the bike while you get into an accident? While you could have survived with a broken leg, now you'll have to amputate it. (I don't care about the person's car, but it'll hurt the most the one who's not surrounded by a cage of steel.) |

Great, now I have no bike OR lock. But I do have this cool puddle of molten metal! And burning rubber. |

At what temperature does the average bike frame melt? I'm thinking it's probably pretty high. |
