The first bike I bought when I started cycling again was a hardtail mtb. I'd had it a week when I had my fork and rear wheel stolen by crackheads. In a stroke of pure genius, I locked the QR front to the frame and the rack but missed the 15mm rear wheel. They had two hours while I was inside at a night school class. They cut the cables and left the handlebars twenty feet away.
