Of course you`d have a combination or switch to turn it on and off. I say put a major hurt to those mf theives.

Nobody is safe.

It seems like the only real safe places are within your apartment/house or inside your workplace. Someone I know left their bike on their third floor rear balcony. The thief jumped the fence, went up the fire escape to the balcony and threw the bike over onto the backyard grass, and climbed over the fence with it. Another had their bike stolen from their garage.

Cut the cable and did not leave a trace.

Everytime I see one it gives me something to laugh at, and what could be better than that?

The opportunity to mock ridiculous bicycles is like a little gift the hipsters of San Francisco give me a few times every day. It would be deeply ungracious of me to reject that.

Frankly, I think this type of bike theft is common, but perhaps there is a trend here involving one thief (or a group of them).

I asked a cop where the most likely place to find it was, and he told me to go to 7th/Market (near the fountain). I went down, lock in hand, ready to beat the shit out of the thief if I found him/her (maybe, or not really), but no luck. I did find:

a)Someone trying to sell me a stolen frame for $5; and
b)Two people willing to steal me replacements.

Ugh.

I’m starting to wonder if those kids who slap stickers all over their beautiful frames are the smart ones. Who ever heard about one of those getting jacked?

I’m gonna ask around the usual bike crowd at Bean Bag and Mojo if they heard anything later today.

Someone distracted the security guy standing next to the rack while the other dude ganked it.
