Your article about bicycle maintenance (The Filter, 14 October) quotes Ryan Elson saying that Kryptonite locks are “proven to stop even angle grinders”. I’d like to see the proof. A few days ago I got back to the station to find my bicycle gone and my Kryptonite lock cleanly severed not once, but twice, surely by cordless angle grinder. The police aren’t investigating.

• I agree with Tim Martineau that In Our Time is a great soporific (Letters, 12 October), but I can’t be the only one to have dozed off to Melvyn Bragg’s dulcet tones only to be woken, as the programme ends, with that irritatingly loud and cheerful jingle advertising “BBC Sounds: music, radio, podcasts”.

• Donald Trump is seeking to remove arms from Hamas (Trump says Hamas will be forced to disarm or ‘we will disarm them’, 14 October). Perhaps he could test how easy that will be by requiring the people of his country to hand over their guns.

• If there is a better job than Guardian letters editor, please tell me. I laughed out loud at all the short letters in last Saturday’s Guardian. A very rare event. And you get to select from all the ones submitted.
