thanks for all the information. we have a big problem with bike theft on our campus (at LaGrange College). I have also been a victim (1989 Peugeot stolen for drunken joy ride, dude hit a wall or car gate and bent the frame but it was probably worse for him). This is a campus of 1200 people in a small town but there have been sightings of people walking around with bolt cutters!! I just purchsed the lock in the last photo around the front wheel but the guy in the bike shop said anyone with a drill could take it off easily. For now I only lock my bike when I ride somewhere, all other times it sits in the living room of my apartment.
