If they are also secured withing the car- it makes it a bit more difficult.
Hmmm, it's all a worry isn't it. Our LBS stocks (and highly rates Krytonite) so it will be interesting to hear what other trusty brands are around.
Not sure we could get the cable into the back of our Golf to lock down - will have to explore that possibility. When carried in our camper, the bikes will be inside the garage - and attached to the security alarm, a good 'out of sight, out of temptation' look.
