Skunklock looks like an ordinary U lock

Well, here's an interesting product, but I'm not sure how successful it will be. It's called Skunklock, and it looks like an ordinary U lock for your bike. Inside, there is a noxious chemical under pressure. Should a bike thief try to cut the lock, it sprays out. The chemical is legal, but most unpleasant, often inducing vomiting. Skunklock had a very successful funding campaign on Indiegogo, raising over 75,000 dollars by the end of 2016. They project that the first locks will be available in May of 2018, with an MSRP of $159. I love their tagline: "The lock that fights back."
