It's not a matter of who was doing the grinding, but rather one of do thieves really steal bikes with any frequency using a grinder? Just because it's possible doesn't mean that it's actually happening in the real world. The amount of 'what ifs' on this board regarding bike thefts is ridiculous. There is being safe, and there is being paranoid, and paranoid seems to be in favor here.....
