Default San Diego

Within the past 2 months two of my friends from San Diego have gotten their bikes stolen. One was inside a parking structure to his apartment and the other was in a parking lot at a market. I heard that its getting really hot in san diego so if any of you live there watch out for your bikes.

It's not theft-proof, but it does help...

They both had wheel locks but I guess the people that stole it just lifted the bikes...

Seeing how I live in an apartment I have that same on guard chain lock I use a long with two disk locks one for the rear rotor and one for the front. I know they can still steal the bike if they want to bad enough but at least it makes it harder for them.

I'm glad I have a garage. But of course, that only means so much.

sad to hear my friend. Besides the Lock my best suggestion is a really good inurance and GAP coverage....

That sux to hear. Hopefully they have good insurance. There was a movie and guyswould pull up to bike with a small crane and just lift it right in to the back of the truck and go. That's scary.
