Thick as Thieves

The answer is simple.

Have at least one bike for leaving locked up, one that you won't mind losing, make it look like shit.

Here's my smooth riding comfy and nippy town bike. It's a 92 Rocky Mountain Hammer, all new bearings, a sweet ride.

I enjoy leaving it locked up, I get a kick out of the snarky sideways glances it gets from bike snobs.
The 'rust' is all paint.

I love that tacky lock and tape around the saddle. Maybe you should paint just one brake arm black?

As is the police with involved pursuing 300,000 reported stolen bicycles each year. I know which one would be less costly to the taxpayer.

If they'd not let the situation get that bad in the first place...
