Holy cow!
1) This is an _excellent_ response to the problem. This is probably the only thing Kryptonite could have done to retain their eminence in the lock business. I predict this will be studied in business schools for some time to come. Clearly, they had a good crisis management team. Good for them!
2) We're probably lucky Kryptonite got purchased by Ingersoll-Rand. I doubt an independent Kryptonite could have done this.
Good times,

Kryptonite assured that the replacement lock simply cannot be opened with a Bic pen. This one takes a Montblanc
I was really amazed that OnGuard has extended the same offer.
They actually already did this the day after the videos surfaced on CraigsList.
Overall, I am impressed by both co's commitment to stand by their products.

They insure your bike for $500-$3500 if is stolen. It is much cheaper for them to send a new lock than pay that kind of money...
If you've read the details on the Kryptonite insurance policy, the likelihood of actually receiveing an insurance settlement seems more than slightly remote. I think the insurance policy is pure marketing.
