Bad Luck Bike Lock

Tonight I went to see the movie Sin Nombre for World Regions credit. Its about a Mexican gang member who meets a Honduran teenager, and her father and uncle who are illegally immigrating to the United States.  I thought that the movie was a very realistic, but very violent as well.

After leaving the movie I went to get my bike.  When I got there, I grabbed my lock to put in the combination and it came away in my hand, so I guess I forgot to lock it. I'm glad that my bike was still there! I rode to DXpress to get dinner, but when I went to lock up my bike I saw this:

The pin that slides inside the lock had snapped off, and I hadn't noticed it when I picked up my lock. I couldn't actually lock up my bike so I used the cable  to tie it to the rack instead and hurried inside to quickly grab some food.  After getting a pizza I rode back to my dorm and rolled my bike right into the elevator.  Right now my bike is sitting in my room in front of my closet.

I've borrowed a lock from someone down the hall who had an extra, and I'm going to try to get a new one tomorrow when I go out to buy food for my backpacking trip.
