Everybody wants to get into the act. There's ( plenty of other colors ) The blue text is a sort of trademark thing I've been doing since day one on the 'net better than 10 years ago and I've no plans to stop. I wouldn't want anyone to be mistaken for me (for good or bad) since I've been using it for so long. I actually have to stop myself from typing the code on sites that don't support it

Back to the topic at hand:
In theory, a thief could do that, but what thief is going to bother following me around? For the record, most thieves are opportunists and tend to go for the easy mark. If some unfortunate soul locks a decent bike next to mine with a cable lock as opposed to a NY Lock and a cable used Sheldon Style chances are, if a bike is going to be swiped, it's not going to be mine. It'll suck if the poor schlub's bike does get stolen, but their lack of precaution isn't my problem.
