Have you held a Bordo in your hand? It is German made industrial strength. Even if the thief had a high impact power tool (just happened to be walking down the street with my pneumatic punch) the rivets are so tough the Bordo would have to be set on something hard in order for the punch to do anything other than knock the Bordo around. Abus are head and shoulders above the competition.
