Keep living THAT dream. I lived in a relative "safe" area as well. One day I left mine and stepped inside a friends house while he put his jacket on. Stepped outside and my bike was GONE along with his as well. There isn't such a thing as a "safe" place when it comes to your bike.
If you happen to be riding a Huffy then I suppose it doesn't matter. But anything else and I am sure that, given enough time, your luck will run out.....unfortunately....
