My area is ottawa, as for bike theives, we put a stop to them in our the area I live in, havn't been any bikes stolen here in a few years, the secret to keeping them away is beating the crap out of them, or electric grids, they work wonders, you have a theif problem, use it, maybe the law said no, but, if you spend alot of money on something, or work hard on it, just for someone to steal it, screw it, i'll do what it takes to protect it, police do nothing to help, I lost over 50 bikes over the years, this Bianchi will be kept indoors.
