Oh yeah, I forgot about this:



Awesome locking job that I saw at the store on my way, about 10 feet from a half-empty bike rack. The lock is threaded through a short strand of rope that is stapled to the firewood. Theft options abound here; you could plant a foot on the firewood bundle and pull on the rope until it pops free, you could cut the rope, you could load the firewood into the bike basket and ride away with both a free bike and and free firewood (double score!), or you could undo the two bungies that hold the basket to the bike and slip the lock cable over the handlebars.

Then again, if I rode a Magna, I don't think that I'd even bother with the lock. If I were the thieving type, I'd be more inclined to take the 1/4 full jar of pepperoncinis (wait, what?) than the bike.
