And this is why I have always said that if you're locking a bike up in a high risk area, and colleges are very high risk areas, to get either a used bike for about $250-$350 range or a Walmart type of bike in that price range if you want a new bike. And if you have a nice bike you leave it at home and ride it for training rides etc. when you know you won't need to be locking it up.
