only 30 days after buying a brand new 1987 4runner that I personally customized with an enormous canvas top swapped for the fiberglass topper was stolen 15 feet from my sleeping head while visiting my folks in ny, near the city. had to take the train home to somerville. all I had was a POS franken bike. basically a collection of parts found on the streets of beacon hill which I spray painted yellow. but "they" weren't gonna get my only transportation. so I rode it to the hardware store in harvard square. bought the absolute most enormous four? foot length of case hardened chain they had & the biggest padlock. combined musta been 10lbs. carried it by wrapping it all around the seat post & locking one end to the other. it was worth more than the bike. under normal conditions it would have been overkill. but not at that time
