Picking Autolock with BIC pen?

apparently the cylinder lock on these U-locks can be picked by a BIC pen,

why's that? It's not like im putting out information that isn't already out there. I'm just posing a question which is related to the links and vids from other people.
if it can happen to them, would you say its different for the autolock?
If you think i should delete this post, then why don't you back up your reply with why.

It showed up on the news here. I use one of those kryptonite locks to lock up my street bike.
Now I'll have to make sure I keep up on my tracking device payments. LOL

Re: Picking Autolock with BIC pen? (nsxxtreme)
Yeah I have no intention of deleting this. Got to have people aware of this. Even if you don't have a kryptolock, whos to say that it won't work on other cyclinder key type locks?
If it can happen to a krypto, whos been in the game for years, then it may and could happen to an autolock since it too has a cyclinder key.
The best bet, is to layer your security to deter the thieves as much as possible!

It seems like about 95% of bike owners on campus use those things becuase they are big *** "impossible to cut through" bars of metal. Little do they know a ******* ball point pen opens them up.
to the guy who invented that POS.
