Sadly, I don't see that happening. At the library that I go to they have a security camera that watches the bike area. It is visible and I am sure that "everyone" knows that it is there. But just a couple of weeks ago two bicycles were stolen while I was in the library. Of course it didn't help that the owners didn't lock their bikes up. According to a couple of staff members the thieves looked at my bike, which is not only locked with two locks, but is covered with a Topeak mountain bike cover. But didn't touch it, this isn't the first time that bikes have been stolen while I've been at the library, and sadly I am sure that it will not be the last time that I will be there when bikes are stolen.

As bad as it may sound I have no sympathy for someone who doesn't lock their bike up and get's it stolen. And seeing some of the cheap flimsy locks and chains that some people use I know that their bikes will be targeted before mine will. As I've seen more then a few with those cheap, and weak chains with the barrel locks built into them. You know the ones, where all you've gotta do is stamp on them and they break. Of course it goes without saying that most of the locks are also used to "secure" Huffy's, and other cheap ass department store bikes. There's one guy I've seen up there who is riding around on a $10.00 pawn shop bike with Specialized Armadillo tires. The bloody tires cost more then the bike, then on top of that I'd say he's got at least $100.00 invested in a homemade lighting system. But at least he has lights.
