I live realy far away and traveling to my house on bike isnt the safest thing in the world esp at night, so I leave it at my friends house(car parking is free here) Unfortunalty he has nothing solid to lock bikes to so I have to lock anything to another movable object ie another bike, grill, etc. So this morning I parked my car at my friends house to get my bike then go to work, I go around the corner and my bike is gone. My friends bike wich I locked it to was also gone. Given the number of chains and locks that were on both bikes they would had to be taken together. Im fairly devestated. It was a saphire 1992 Trek 790 multitrack that i had custom built into more of a hybrid. I planed on starting some light touring with it. My friends bike was a Trek 800sport, nothing great, but all he had. These are the 4th and 5th bikes weve had stolen from this location, this month!!! (I have around 20 bikes) The first 3 bikes were left unlocked so im not suprised. I have no doubt that theyll be back for more. Id realy like to get this guy in the act and possible get my bikes back. My current plan invloves a junk Roadmaster and a few car batteries. But before I fry anyone I wanna know if any1 has had any luck with catching a bike theif.

Just to clarify, I will no longer leave bikes here. Ill remove the front tire everyday and put in my car like i used to.
