I'm pretty neurotic and either take it in or park where I can watch it. Although, I did leave it in the hands of the valet guy at Rockbottom Brewery last Saturday night. And we found out that the valet guy was in the restaurant when he swore he'd keep an eye on it! 
I'll never do that again. Once it's stolen, it's gone, and my Dad bought that bike for me. So, I say, no, never leave it with a stranger.

Oh, and I'll be sure to voice a complaint (verbally and in writing) soon.

So how many bikes was he supposed to have been watching over? Not that it really matters since the principle is the same regardless (and each individual customer only is valeting one bike) but so that I can let them know how many of my friends were directly impacted.

I'm in the Disneyland (tourist) area and have had several of mine stolen in the past 45 years but it's pretty unlikely that it will happen again being that there are so many of them...but I still play it safe when I feel the need.
Here is the one I'm feeling like getting in the next 3 years.
