Brickseek is a joke lately. I input my zip code the last few times that I have used it, and it gives me info for a store 60 miles East of me, as well as a store 50 miles Northwest of me. No store information for the Walmart stores in my actual city 5-7 miles away.
Of course, it could be a "you get what you pay for" type of situation. The last time I used Brickseek on a mobile device, I noticed upsell information at the bottom of the page after I got my bad information, with the sales pitch being that the paid version provides more accurate, relevant information.
I wouldn't lock my bike with this, a thief could cut it with a small hand tool in seconds.
It's better than nothing I suppose, but don't think that you'll be getting any level of security with it.
Most locks are really just to stop the opportunity thief. Any lock can be beaten by someone that wants to steal and has the time and tools. I assume this is enough for most people/kids.

While that's true, you still want to use the lock that takes more work for the thief, so they'll move to an easier target.
A few minutes with a loud angle grinder or 3 seconds with a pocketable cable cutter? Which bike do you think a thief is going to steal?
I wouldn't' trust brickseek on these. Walmart clearanced out a bunch of Bell bicycle equipment 2-3 months back so these are probably just inaccurate inventory
It's just a bike bud. We're not locking a Bentley with a 25 cent lock.
Losing a bike sucks hard, even if it's only $100-200. I've seen people lock up even more expensive bikes with locks like these. Imagine coming out of the grocery store with your stuff and your bike is gone because you cheaped out and spent $0.25 on a bike lock instead of $30
