I am so glad I do not live in a city and have to contend with this sort of thing.

The purpose of the outer layer is to keep the grinder wheel from being able to reach the steel part. A larger diameter grinder will have more reach to the wheel that would allow the wheel to reach the steel core and defeat the lock. Grinders larger than 5" are also pretty bulky things so a thief is more likely to move on to another bike.

This is something that never should have gone beyond the initial design stage. But there are always way too many suckers....
Take a look at their video, it locks around what look like standard bike racks. The lock is on an entire different scale from standard bike locks...
