I read about a guy who had is locked bike stolen and even caught it on security cameras.&nbsp\\; It took the thieves about 20 sec. to pick the bike up and put it on the lift gate of a truck and they were out of there.

That's why you always lock it TO something.

If a thief wants it, they will get it or part of it or wreck something regardless of what you do.

I agree if someone wants it they are going to get it. But making it a little harder makes sense to me too. Slowem down a little bit anyway.
