Hello
My bike (all black track bike) was victim to an attempted theft this morning in front of the business building on Portland State University between 8-10am.
I stopped reading at this point.
I would never have put the bicycle in front of a business (A university to boot!) in full view. You must take the time to hide the bicycle in a place where no one is looking or would be difficult to find. The only time my bicycles have been attacked was when I left them in full view or attached to bike racks.
