Too extreme???
My response to finding the tourpack latches open, the glove box doors hanging, the rubber boot on my antenna pulled up around the antenna ball, and fingerprints all over it! This all happened during work hours.
Too much maybe????

can't read it
okay, I can read it now.
While I feel your pain and would love to thump someone that touched my bike, I think
that note is going to be taken as a dare to some a$$hole, you may find your bike lying
on it's side the next time you see it.
Others recommending a cover while it's parked is a good idea.

Can't really read much of your note. I am assuming it is probably to the effect of bodily harm...etc. I ride to work and have a covered parking garage. I haven't had anyone mess with my ride but then we have areas to park bikes that are on the main level and there are always people coming and going out...so the volume of people probably keeps the idiots at bay.
If it becomes a problem you might think about a cover to put over the bike...probably not a guarantee of protection but it seems to deter people who want to plop their *** on the seat or play with buttons and switches.
Edit - Now being able to read the note...maybe it is just me, but human nature usually is that you will find at least some percentage that when they read that will react as "Oh yeah? Let's see you try." You can guess what happens from there. Maybe something along the lines of "I don't sit on or play with your car. Please don't sit on or play with my bike." If that doesn't work then a motion sensor alarm system or a cover might come next...unless of course you happen to actually catch someone. I know I have one time caught a person preparing to get on my bike for a photo op with a friend. Needless to say they thought hell had arrived when I found them...but that wasn't at work...actually it was in the parking lot of a resturant.

Lock those boxes. Damn, side cases are a big theft item here. Don't allow them a second chance. The note will just antagonize a goof. Take it off, and park in a more visable area.

Sounds to me like someone was looking to steal whatever they could, just don't leave
anything to spendy on it for to long out of sight.

Funny!
Glad you guy's pointed out the possible antagonistic quality of the note!
Being pissed I might have overreacted?
