My bicycle was stolen when I was a kid and we saw the thief ride away. My father gave chase in his car and eventually came back with the bicycle. I was pretty impressed... Thanks for reminding me of that. Generally I've always ridden bikes that are so cheap/crappy looking that thiefs never bothered me. I used to just leave them unlocked all over the place and never had a problem (though none of these places and times were like any of today's hot spots). Now motorcycles getting stolen is yet another story.
