Thieves in this town are kids, too lazy to work and want dope, or older transient types so doped up they wouldn't know which end to hang onto.
I have caught thieves trying to steel my hardrock twice, one time the kid ran when I came out, the last was 2 kids, I walked up behind them and watched them trying to guess the combination on one of my locks, they tried to lie out of it, I very politely said" I see you within 50 feet of my bike again I will bust you up bad".

Like somebody said, eyes are the best, I will get in and out as fast as I can or get someone to watch such as security or if I ride with other folk we take turns baby sitting.
But there is places just wont get my business because I don't feel safe there.

Another one gets me, my bank, has a sign, "No Bikes or Peds at the drive through" but they got no bike racks,
I am ready to find a different bank.

One time on a quick trip to the grocery store I forgot my lock and the security guy stood by it and watched it for me. He was nice.
