In my opinion, you have no chance protecting the bike except maybe chaining it to yourself. If you fall asleep however, it will be gone when you wake up. If it's worth that much, insure the thing. You'd have more luck getting your money back from them than the bike back from the thief. Hang on, maybe not.....:-) A motorcyle was chainned to a parking sign post while the owner went off to do something. When he returned the bike was gone. A week or so later, a letter arrived for him. In it was a bill from the thief for reimbursement for the extra work he had to do to cut the bike free. The address was 'aquired' by the motor vehicle registration. I didn't hear if there was a return address or not ;-) -- Best regards Tony mICros http://www.bubblesoftonline.com mailto:sales@bubblesoftonline.com -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
