By the way, by "clear message", I mean they visibly send a clear
message; they are a preventative measure, not reactive. In other words,
u-locks do not represent a threat to a potential attacker until they
have crossed the line between potential and actual, where baseball bats
sticking out of bags are a clear visible signal that we are not merely
sitting ducks.<br>

paint-balls clearly mark the attacker if they were to try to flee.
