Actually, this is a very busy spot, right outside NYU hospital 1st ave Manhattan, where a lot of people leave their locks too. Also I left it along with it 2 more “U shape” locks that I used to lock each weal for extra protection. The U locks are still there. I was wondering how come they didn’t cut those. Unless the bulky kryptonite was easily recognized as being there constantly and the U locks were not noticed because many more of them are left there for a while every day. By the way kryptonite was brand new and costed me $140 plus tax... thank you all for your replies.
