I wonder if that's legal in Canada. With our laws, you're more likely to get a criminal charge for setting a trap than the thief is for trying to steal your bike.
EDIT:
I was happy they didn't include electronic wankery that normally makes it useless as a lock. I'm still sketched out that the company that makes a single product (a physical lock) has a CTO. Titles like that normally means they are wankers.
They didn't make it obvious if the skunk juice is just in the body (easy and stupid) or in the hoop too. If it's in the hoop, it would be hard not to have vulnerabilities like stopping the juice tube prior to entering the body for strength against prying. By marking the lock, I suspect that after the first time they got sprayed the thief would just nick the bottom to let it discharge away from them and then continue on. If the claims are correct that it won't affect anyone nearby, all the thief has to do is a avoid a direct shot of the juice, they don't even need to wait for it to dissipate (or the claims regarding bystanders are BS).
Ignoring the skunk factor for the moment, the fact that he used a special tool for this lock is a notable. He picks most bike locks in seconds with incredibly basic tools - sometimes just by whacking the lock with a hammer, sometimes just using little shims made out of soda cans...
