I paid 150 for the new FCR I found. The kryptonite lock I purchased AFTER the original was stolen cost me 129.00. Piece of mind!!!!
Ughhhhh.... I can't even imagine what I would do in that case... I would be out for blood!
I've seen posts/Craigslist ads sometimes of people's extremely expensive bikes being stolen off the street of some large cities - Chicago, NYC, etc. I cannot imagine locking up a $5k asset with any type of lock! If I had 5 kryptonite locks I still would not lock up such an expensive bike on the street..... again, I'm super paranoid
all it takes is a cordless drill to drill into where the key goes on a lock and within a minute or two any lock is broken.
Ps - sorry to thread jack
but it's nice to see other people with the same mindset as me re: locking bikes outside. It stinks that we have to think like this but the world is how it is....
