People who want to steal a bike to feed a fix don’t care about your groupset, they care that you have 20 pounds or so of good scrappable metal. Anything is fair

People who want to steal a bike to feed a fix don’t care about your groupset, they care that you have 20 pounds or so of good scrappable metal. Anything is fair game. Any lock can be cut. Crackheads have battery powered angle grinders too, and they are emboldened because law enforcement doesn’t go after bike theft in the US at least. The best lock is a renters or homeowners insurance policy that can cover your bike when it’s inevitably stolen.
