That is as incorrect a statement as I have read in 15+ years of Internet surfing.

During my training as a Correctional Officer at a maximum security prison, one thing that was drilled into our heads is that "CRIMINAL INTENT RESIDES WITHIN THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE PERSON THAT COMMITS THE CRIME IS THE SOLE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COMMISSION OF THE CRIME".

There is no one on the face of the earth that can stop a bike thief until the bike thief takes it upon their self not to steal a bike. It does not matter if the bike is not left in the shed or if it's left in a MARTA bike rack unlocked. The person stealing the bike is the sole person responsible for the crime. Anything else is an excuse. It may be stupid not to put your bike in the shed or not to lock it up but it is not your fault it gets stolen.


If you are set upon sending your son out on a girls bike, why not paint it pink and shout "Go Sue Go" from the sidelines. Johnny Cash would be proud!!!
