Yeah, true, but then there going to get your back tire too. I mean come on how many of use use a cable lock for the back tire and haven't had any problems. Anything is possible to get your bike...so 1) lock it up on a very public bike rack where tons of other bikes are...Thiefs get scarred too. 2) if it's at night bring it inside your house (don't even leave it on an outside balcony) , 3) if you're bar hopping take your beater (or build a beater), and 4) if you ever see someone taking someone else's bike SPEAK UP. If we can create a community of noisy nancies then we can decrease bike theft (sort of like those community watch programs) so watch your local hood.
