We Asked Tourists to Cut Love Locks: Check Their Surprising Reactions! 

If you do this every 3 months and film it, you will start an actual tradition that can actually spread to other cities.

“It’s not love, it’s vandalism” that quote sums up this whole video lol

In Poland we do same with bike locks when somone left his bike for more than 5 minutes.

The girl from Paris was actually wrong. The city of Paris had to cut of most of the barriers that were full of lovelocks because the bridge (pont des arts)became too heavy and was about to fall down...

I hope this "tradition" spreads to other countries.

Here's an easy way to get rid of love locks. Make a regular competition who can cut most love locks in 2 minutes. You'll have ten cutters and ten contestants at a time. Even more. Each participant will have a designated section. Winner will get a certificate that he helped to maintain Prague's architectural heritage and battle vandalism and your book. Second and third place will get a t-shirt with your signature. The rest will get a diploma. You'll clean the fence in no time, no effort and minimal cost.

I find it interesting that people think buying a cheap padlock from a street seller and putting it on some random bridge in a city you may never return to, is somehow an eternal symbol of neverending love 🙄

Cutting locks is also a tradition in Chicago when you leave your bike unattended for more than 5 minutes

THe concept of having your Prague souvenir be someone *elses* love lock that you chopped off the bridge is just hilarious to me XD what an excellent way of promoting good behavior - sure some of them still put locks on, and non tourist is going to travel with bolt cutters so its a hard trend to spread, but you brought a little awareness, and got them involved in a cleanup effort instead of just selfishly messing up a bridge for a photo op. Plus it's gotta be satisfying to anyone going through a messy breakup lol

Before visiting Paris with my boyfriend, I wanted to get a love lock for us to hang in the city. But after doing some quick research, I realized how harmful they are! I am sad that others do not do the same research before deciding to do it in cities they travel to. But I am so happy that you have created this new tradition to get rid of them, I hope it spreads all over Europe!

If tourists put the €10 they would normally invest in vandalism into cleaning up the city, that would be a great world.

the best part was when you asked the tourist if he'd be willing to graffiti, and he said no, not understanding at all. glad you're doing this!

I say next time you guys should do a collaboration with the Lock Picking Lawyer and get him to get them off for you without the danger of grinders or bolt cutters!! 😂

Janek, Destroyer of Bonds.

If your love is influenced by a lump of metal that can destroy something, you're an idiot anyway. Keep up the good work!

You need to set up a life-size picture of a Prague municipal worker (in ‘traditional uniform’, of course) holding some lock-cutters and with the face cut away so that tourists can poke their own faces through and have their photo taken.

This fits so well into our current era. It's satirizing the original tradition and letting everyone laugh about it. The jokes that "we're breaking up a couple somewhere", give a new understanding of permanence and love so I like this on a symbolic level as well as a practical one.

This should be a Valentine's Day tradition for those who are frustrated by cheesy love gestures :D

It’s crazy… people don’t understand how heavy these locks are, and that they damage the hell out of these very old fences. Any tourists that puts one of these up is basically saying, “I don’t care!!”

It would be nice to see how many love locks a professional lock picker could remove in one hour by just using the lock picks. If LockPickingLawyer ever visits Praque that would be a nice challengefor him. A lock picker vs a guy with cutting tools.

Makes me so sad to see graffiti too. I remember a graffiti free Prague. I don't understand people destroying such beauty.

"from Holland"... "Holland? I'll give you an easy one then" 😂😂

In Latvia, many cities have made love-lock trees where people are allowed to put their locks on. Those usually are near bridges. As I know, when trees are full of locks, those are replaced with new trees.

A nice thing to do the next time, would be putting all locks from a cleaned part of the fence to a box, so people can try to lift it and learn why it's bad to put locks on bridges

You are an Machiavellian of an influencer. I love the new tradition against stupidity. Keep going Janek, you do the right thing ❤

Let`s make this a tradition! Next time announce it a few weeks before and everybody brings his own bolt cutter an the group will go from spot to spot and get rid of the love locks everywhere ;-) "Unshackle your love day" 😛

Unfortunately, because of the common presence of scammers, if I werrn't familiar with Janek & Co, I would probably have run away when I get invited to cut the locks. I would have assumed that it's another con to make me do something and demand money from me later on for "causing damage" 😂

I remember walking over a bridge in Cologne with a lot of these bullshit locks and there was one really memorable graffiti on the ground: "Was ist denn das für eine Gesellschaft, in der das Symbol für die Liebe ein Schloss ist?" (What sort of society has a lock as a symbol for love?) And honestly, that's such a powerful quote and all the power to everyone who cuts those ugly locks and I hope every couple that puts a lock in places where locks don't belong, breaks up quickly and messily.

Janek Rubeš, former member of HONEST GUIDE, is a new member of the lock-cutting team and is a love bond-breaking expert.

This is such a great message though. Cut off the toxic love and feel empowered in your strength! 💪

This should be a monthly thing instead of annual!

Legends says 1000 couples suddenly broke that day.

Looks better without the locks. Great job!

I love it! Tired of tourist’s ruining beautiful bridges and fences! Hope that it becomes a mainstream thing. Man, I loved it when you said why don’t you paint a graffiti on the bridge, as well as this is not love but vandalism. Completely agree.

Seems like a good place to hold a lockpicking convention

I'm genuinely considering revisiting Prague just for this.

I would gladly holiday in Prague, and spend most of it cutting off them damm annoying locks. Such destruction. In the name of love, just buy jewelry as a sign of love like regular people. Stop destroying beautiful places.

I wonder how many love locks the *LockPickingLawyer* could open in 10 minutes...

Lockpicking beginner's heaven, free locks to practise with.

If your love is defined by a lock that is pretty sad, especially on such a pretty bridge.

The only ones who benefit from these love locks are the companies that make the padlocks I remember when people used to scratch their names into trees

In Romania there's the same tradition except we use it on bikes.

2:04 "In Paris, they do it the other way around" "Never heard of it" After spending so much time chasing scammers, Janek finally became one himself (at least this "scam" is a chaotic good one) 😂 If it depends on the people who get schadenfreude (6:24 "I wanna cut love"), you might be able to actually make that a tradition 💔 Whether or not love locks are considered ritual deposits or destructive vandalism depends on the culture (cities like Verona, Pécs, and Moscow have erected metal structures for the sole purpose of accommodating love-locks), but at the very least it's something that needs to be kept under control (the weight of the locks presents a safety issue, since it can cause the structures they're on to collapse).

Love is forever Janek, in the future: Hold my trdelnik

If your love needs to have a love-lock hanging somewhere, then your love is not strong enough, I'd say.

you need to do every year one week of cutting love locks tradition, imagine the tourist coming this week to cut love locks. Tell me when you will make this one week official and I will be every year in prague cutting love locks. Great video as always making every sunday great. :)

6:35 Trdelnik and cutting love locks. True Prague traditions come together... 😂😅

I love the line... "its not love, it's vandalism" .... perfect!! PS... love your videos 😃🖖

This can definitely be a tradition if there were a few more cutters so a few couples can cut the locks at the same time

Wait until lovelockers hear about this thing called marriage. The wedding ring can be locked on your own finger!

7:08 little dudes glasses😂

YES! Please keep doing this! It's helpful for Prague AND helps educate the public.❤

"It's not love, it's vandalism" I'm gonna use this from now on

Love the "hold my tredelnik"-guy.😂

"So where are you from? Holland? Let me give you an easy one." Emotional damage.

They should be selling locks with the same key everywhere near the bridge. This way you can easily remove them with the key and even resell them

I couldn't stop smiling watching this. Love *useful* traditions!❤ Hope it'll become one

2:35 that was savage ❤

Hold my trdelník, what a disrespect. :D

YOu should start a lovelock cutting contest, the person who cuts the most locks in 30 seconds gets a free trdelink

I LOVE this !! Way to go.

Legends of Prague 🎉 keep it up guys ❤

Good job too Janek, absolute eyesore, hope other cities follow your lead!

i couldn't help but smile the whole video, 2 dudes who love their city, gotta love it!

Not sure who had the most fun. Honest Guides or the tourist? Great fun! And you need a crowfunding for some more bolt cutters. And a wheel barrow, hahaha!!

scammers are going to now charge to remove locks since its now a FUN thing for Tourists.

Yeeees, thank you for making another one of these. So satisfying to watch and a good cause.

Make it bi annual, just after Valentine's for all those singles put there! It would be very therapeutic. 😅

Turning community service into a tradition. Love it.

Those lovelocks is a pathetic "tradition", it's monkey-see-monkey-do taken to an extreme level. This is a great action!

I was there on Thursday and 2 boys where going to town on the locks! Loved it! They even had a magnet which they used to fish out the fallen metal from the river

Great job guys!

We need Lock Picking Lawyer to put on a Love lock.

This was so satisfying to watch. Amazing new tradition! 😄

Great idea and funny and precise execution. Keep up the great work!

Well done!! Keep up the amazing work!!

They do this in Romania as well! People put locks everywhere these days. Especially at houses!

Now I want to come back to Prague to partake in this lovely tradition. Though I could also start it in my city

this was a really cool thing to do. i admire your social skills. you made lots of ppl feel happy and special with so little effort 😄👍

love this!

Wow, this is awesome! I live in Prague, and I would love to volunteer to cut off love locks! I wanted to ask, can anyone do it? Or dor you need some sort of permit, or wear some sort of uniform? Otherwise, I'd love to go ahead and start! I've been wanting to cut love locks because of your channel for years now!

Ok, let's have an actual event created here or on Facebook, have 5-10 bolt cutters ready, and we can make it a REAL tradition.

You guys are brilliant!!!

Great work!

Prague is lucky to have you and your team.

If you want to lock your love just marry and love each other. Putting a lock doesn't make any changes if two persons don't love each other from the bottom of their heart ❤

What we need is "This is the lockpickinglawyer and today we have the love lock..."

Super video, vypadá to, že jste si to všichni užívali :)

This was one of the most entertaining videos I've watched from you guys

We Dutch love to cut locks :D I'll bring some cutters on my next Prague visit

Dobrá práce!!

Today on the Lock Picking Lawyer, I attempt to pick every love lock in Prague in 1 day.... (This RU-vid video needs to happen!)

Should've done it on valentine's day, such a missed opportunity!

The money people spend on love locks should be be used towards adding more bells to the churches. They could be called love bells. A new Prague tradition.

I was smiling wide. Good one

Well done!!

I wish I was one of the tourists because I’m sure it’s such fun! 👏🏽

this video just keeps escalating into more wholesomeness

Thank you for what you are doing for every tourists visiting your beautiful city. I never visited Prague, but i can feel how much you love your city. It's beautiful.

Amazing. I'm noting the date so I can plan my visit.
