I started out being paranoid about this, but I wonder if it's waranted? I mean, the stem riser is attached by 3 cables to the bike. I guess someone could cut the cables, but how likely is that?

Another idea I had, was to attach some sort of eyelet, so that I could put the lock or cable through the eyelet and lock the riser with the rest of the bike. I haven't found anything really suitable yet. I have my water bottle cage attached to the riser with hose clips, and I have occasionally passed the lock through the water bottle cage. I know it isn't heavy duty or anything, but it ought to deter the opportunist thief..
