I don't have much time to sift through all pages, so here's a question that may have been answered:

How can I beat my bike-theft paranoia?

As I upgrade parts on my bike and make it nicer gradually, the frequency with which I commute to work decreases, out of increasing fear for it being stolen. Today, as in any other time I ride to work, I locked the top tube of my bike to the nearest signpost with my Fahgettaboudit (or however you say it) Kryptonite lock. I also have a kryptonite cable running under the rails of my saddle and through my back wheel and attached to this lock. Finally for good measure, a smaller kryptonite lock attaching the front wheel to the frame.

Sounds like it should be enough, and so far so good, yet I'm totally freaking out every time. I work on the 5th floor of this building and have no way of looking out any window to check that the bike, or any of its parts are still there. I get off in 4 hours and time is going by very slowly...

Am I being overly paranoid? I'm stressed out to the point where I'm seriously considering NOT commuting ever again.
