I now have to side with the "take it in" folks. I just had my mind changed: After a long, stressful shift last night, I went out to my bike for my soothing ride home. I found my tube-mounted bicycle pump kidnapped by thieves in the night. First time since I started bicycle commuting 4 or 5 years ago that my bike's been touched.
This changes a lot, because if I have to remove the pump, I probably should also remove the bag and the saddle, as well as remove the front wheel and lock it to the rear.
All of a sudden, commuting by bike is not so fun and convenient.
