So why don't you worry about your bicycle getting stolen by battery powered tools?

It makes for a great theft deterrent. Sure, with the right tools, any security device can be broken into. How many thieves do you think there would be walking around the streets of Denver trying to steal these things? They're cheap bicycles with GPS and RFID tags and they're obviously owned by the city.

If you were a thief, which would you rather steal? A bicycle that is easily identifiable as government owned, or a bicycle that looks like something a regular joe would own?


Wow, that's just great. Now we all have to be worried about thieves walking around with battery powered tools stealing bicycles and cutting cars in half
