How it works

U-shaped locks on the market are easily damaged by saws or sticks. Electronic locks are usually used with GPS tracking and location, and can be controlled using apps, but can be easily cracked. Some thieves even use chainsaws or oil shears directly to destroy locks and steal bicycles.
Skunk lock SKUNKLOCK uses ultra-hard reinforced steel, ordinary pry lock tools can not cope, even if it is used with hydraulic pliers, cutting machine, it will take a long time.
Even if it is destroyed, SKUNKLOCK will give the thief a “surprise” that will spray a lot of chemical odor. The gas is mainly made up of oil acids and is commonly found in dairy products such as sour cream and cheese.

According to the inventor, the power of this gas can not be underestimated, light vomiting, heavy can let the thief stink, even if wearing a gas mask, will still be smoked breathing difficulties, instantly lost the ability to fight.
So the thief will instinctively pull his leg and run, the smoke will also attract the attention of others, theft can not succeed.
Research and development team said that as long as the normal use of the gas will not leak, absolutely safe, legal, and will not cause permanent damage to people, the smell will stay unwashed, stolen cars may also be because of odor, and become the black market of slow-selling goods, difficult to sell.

Shape mimics the color of skunk
But if the thief is experienced, well-skilled and wearing a gas mask, I am afraid it can not be stopped, and the stolen vehicles, although in the black market, but if the resources are recycled for sale, whether it has a bad smell, it is not so important. And there are netizens questioned, if the former one broke the lock away, the latter one person directly to steal it.
