Cyclists need lighting they can depend on, and the Gotham Theft Proof Bike Light is there when it’s needed -- through rain, sleet and darkened skies.
Bike lights are crucial for safe cycling, so drivers can see bicyclists and cyclists can see their darkened surroundings. The trouble is, many bikers have their lights stolen or forget their lights at home. After a friend was hit by a car while biking without a light (it had been stolen), Slava Menn set out to solve the problem.
The MIT grad devised a bike light that’s durable enough to stay mounted on the handlebars through all kinds of weather, and secure enough to thwart would-be thieves.
His theft-resistant invention, called the Gotham Defender, can only be attached and detached with a special screwdriver that comes with the light, so a thief with an ordinary screwdriver is going to get nowhere.
The Defender is made of aluminum, it’s designed to handle being submerged in a foot of water, and it runs on three AA batteries that power six bright LEDs (steady or flashing mode).

@jasonhuynh trollolololol
It's theft proof until the screw at the bottom is unscrewed.
nothing is theft proof they should have said theft resistant
need the right screwdriver wich is custom made for theeses lights
Wanna theft proof your bike accessories? Weld them all on the handlebars!
Ugly.
1. Use pliers to unscrew, 2. Steal, 3. Profit.
correct should have put counter bore to be theft resistant. though I absolutely love the design
