I've had two bikes stolen in my life and it's not as if I was even in high crime areas. The latest time I had ridden my bike to a book store near where i live. I had forgotten my lock at home but I didn't really think anyone would take it. I was inside for ten minutes, came out and the bike was gone. It was a piece of junk I had picked up at a yard sale for $25. No great financial loss but it sure made me angry to think someone would be such an ass.
