"My cable lock is a last choice -- any redneck worth his pickup truck has something that'll cut the cable, toss it into the pickup bed and he's gone with your bike."
The point was that
if someone wanted to, they could defeat the lock with tools in the truck. Nowhere did he write anything about jumping at the chance.
And anyone who leaves a money or credit cards in their bike "luggage" while away from their bike in the presence of other people is not the brightest bulb in the socket.
P.S. During my recent two-week tour in MT and ID I visited at least 5 small town grocery stores.
