Depends on what the bike theives are using to open them but the worst are combination locks.
The best type of bike lock depends on your specific needs and circumstances. U-locks and chain locks are generally recommended due to their strength and resistance to cutting. Look for locks made from hardened steel, with a Sold Secure rating, and choose a style that suits your locking preferences and the level of security required. I can also suggest checking the info on bike’s safety here https://www.bikertricks.com/bicycle-safety-check/ Maybe it will come in handy.
Sat in the office in Malakoff, it seems this info has’nt reached the 200 or so cyclists passing.
Many years ago I was told that it is “always the motorist’s fault” if there is an accident involving a bicycle… (??? 
)
This might be why so many cyclists appear to flout the “rules”… but for me, common sense would make me want to be seen by other road users… and be safe/safer… never mind rules… 
Should be law that indicators are mandatory. An extended arm is only put out for a short time which can easily be missed. The light level also could cause the arm to be missed. Putting out an arm also makes it a possible collision point.
Safer to have both hands on the handlebars.
While I understand why that view is presented, all cyclists should be aware that a motorist being prosecuted will not bring them back from the dead or enable them to walk again if they break their back.
Speaking as a cyclist myself, you should always assume that you are the vulnerable party, and ride accordingly. At the same time, cycling should be a ‘free’ form of transport, not needing to be buried in requirements.

Except as I wrote proper indicators etc which also help pedestrians who are also at risk from cyclists
