Yes. I have seen a lock. In fact we have a few at home.
Another option would be my 45kg dog that often went to sleep in front of our door. Try opening that.

Bah, people used to run away from my old man's maltese terrior when she was in the front of his truck. (Edit: Truck as in International Harvester vehicle capable of carrying 20+ pallets. Not truck as in utility vehicle).

Also, I once saw a grown man (father of three grown) jump my front fence to get away from my Chihuahua. My runt of the litter chihuahua.

The only other good dog story I remember is sticking my arm over my old man's fence to open the side gate and feeling a solid thump and some weight. I lift my arm to see his full grown rottweiler hanging off my arm with my hand on its tongue. Pretty good lock, pretty quiet dog.

Most ingenious door lock I ever came across was on a server room in south Sydney. The door had a swipe card lock that would only work if you didn't run a mag-striped card down it.

Jesus buggery that's almost as heavy as me.
I never want to meet your dog. Ever.

I keep my retired foil from fencing in my room. The thing is, it was retired due to someone snapping it; I am a competent fencer, and have a sharp, pointy sword. You wanted to break in?

I use to break toothpicks and paper-clips and put them through my wine gums, then leave them out there in the open, then leap up shouting "Divine Retribution!!" at them when they ate one. I had too much free time then.

At whoever ended up pinching one of my wine gums. People never accept food from me now .

My god. You're small, women! =P
You weigh next to nothing ...

As for safety devices ... Not anything real fancy. I used to have something placed upon my door. So that when someone entered, it'd fall onto their head. Me, who was aware of it, would be able to avoid it. That'll teach people to mess about in my room. Later when I got a PLC from the school, I'd rig it up to make it as a counter for how many times my door had been opened. And so I could calculate, and find out if anyone had entered my room while I was gone. ANd so I'd know if they were lying or not =D

Yeah, I really charished the sanctety of my room when I was a kid ..

By "almost as heavy" I mean three quarters of my weight.

And I'm five foot eleven, thankyouverymuch!

Edit - "almost as small?" Buh. Fixed. I'm so tired.

Yeah, but still. You don't weigh very much, do you?
And five foot eleven? Hang on, I'll convert it ...
jeeesus! You're taller than me! And I weigh not nearly as much as I should. I'm classifyed as too skinny. Then what are you? =O

Just underweight, apparently. But that's trusting the BMI. Shouldn't do that.

Take the Moe Syzlak method of safety:
A shotgun behind the door when you're out, I can't see any problems with it

So? You're still the skinniest girl - when it comes to wight/height ratio - I've ever ... Read about?
And why shouldn't you trust BMI again?

Aaaaneyway. This is straying quuite a bit off topic.
Back on topic!
Bike-locks is on topic, right? What kind does you guys use? Because I have really bad experience with stolen bikes. Admittedly half of those times I left my bike unlocked, yes. But I have also used a lock a couple of times, and still have someone run off with the bike. I mean, sure the chains might have been a bit thin, but surely people aren't able to just snap 'em. And surely someone would have noticed if anyone were breaking the chains of a bike-lock in the middle of the day. I don't have a bike anymore. Neither do I have a drivers license. I think I'll buy myself a bike soon. I'm kinda getting tired of walking [sup]if only we had some damn roads more suitable for biking -.-[/sup]

Wait .. A shotgun by the door when you're out? Wouldn't that mean that the intruders could just unlock the door, and snatch the shotgun. Surely that must be more destructive for you than helping you ..

Speaking of having weapons in your house. I live with my mate in an apartment. And he has whole lot of weapons in the apartment. So I pity the fool who dare intrude our apartment! If one of us is inside, that is. Preferably him, since I'm not really all that good with weapons ..

I think it's Thailand where you're legally allowed to booby trap your car. This includes things like a giant metal spike that ejects from the steering wheel.

Also pull a Mad Max.

Whilst I realise this is a perfect chance for a rick roll, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDrzMGdYWZc or you could google "south africa car flame thrower".
