I imagine it would, although it's probably easier to wash whatever stink sauce is inside off your bike than off your clothing (if you're the thief).

It seems like the idea is that the thief gets halfway through cutting the lock and then gets the hell out of dodge - although i guess maybe if they're thinking straight, they might realize the cost of stank is already sunk, and just finish the job.

I would think that any thief who knows enough about these locks to come prepared would rather not walk around smelling like skunk. But I guess just like any lock, it's easily defeated if the thief is sufficiently prepared. The idea is to make the theft such a pain in the ass that they choose a different target.

BRB going to print up some warning stickers for my lock.

I'd rather wash down the stink than have to spend $800 for a new bike.
