It's funny, I've said almost the exact same thing to my professors before. I tend to take a fair amount of night classes at UC, and after dark, the campus is often full of troublemakers, hellraisers and the ilk. So, even though I commute to school with my $450 Hardrock Pro, I still brought it into my classes, as I refuse to leave something of considerable value outside where some idiot can steal it, or at the very least, attempt to destroy.
And for those days that I forgot to bring my lock with me, I apologize to all those students who I bumped with my bicycle as I carried it up and down the stairs of McMicken.
