I doubt I'll see it again, but if anyone encounters it kneecap whoever is on it.

It is a bitter pill for you but thanks for letting us know pick-up shells are not secure. When/if I get one I will know to have further security for bikes and stuff. The one time I had a bike stolen it was from inside a back yard with a high, solid fence around it. The police figured it was a local high schooler who had seen me park there before. So watch people in the area of the theft, some kid might be dumb enough to keep riding it.
