I've had an Xtracycle stolen, but not a stoked one, and I haven't heard of anybody else's being stolen. I think it's probably weird enough that thieves don't know quite what to make of it. I'd recommend taking the battery off the bike if you need to leave it unattended for very long; this renders the beast just kind of heavy to would-be thieves. Even if they got it with battery, the charger would be...? Sure I suppose the passing meth-head could just strip it for the wheels and whatever, but that's no different than with any nice bike.
