quote [ Two inventors from San Francisco develop a bike lock that induces vomiting and shortness of breath if someone tries to cut the lock.

The "Skunklock" is a U-shaped steel bicycle lock with a pressurised, stinking gas inside.

The gas escapes in a cloud if someone attempts to cut the lock.

The company claims its "noxious chemical" is so disgusting it "induces vomit in the majority of cases."

Even better, it claims, the gas causes "shortness of breathing" and impaired eyesight. ]
