I have a neighbor that had her bike stolen. Was found about 100 yards away. She assumed it was because the thief did not like the tiny little clipless pedals. Nice Serrota with a Ultegra Grupo too.
A friend of mine, his bike was stolen at a grocery store. But abandoned a couple hundred feet away. He assumed that the friction downtube shifters were why it was abandoned by the thief.
