Which I think brings up the biggest point: a lock will NOT stop a thief.
If a thief wants your bike they will find a way to take it. A lock is
simply a deterrent, something to stop the casual thief, something to
make a thief choose a different, easier target. This is true of MANY
security "devices", "the club" being a prime example. TTYL
