athelindWell, just five days after my roommate's bike got stolen, mine got stolen as well. While they snagged his from our car-port, they actually had to hop the fence around our apartment porch to get to mine.
I confess that I didn't have mine locked, even after Chris lost his -- on the other claw, though, they probably would have just cut through my lock or cable, which was nowhere near as formidable as the Brink's Vault setup that he had.
Dang it -- I had finally started making headway on the damned thesis revision this morning. Ah, well, I'm not going to let this derail me.
On the plus side, my bike WAS registered down at CSUMB. I called the campus PD and left voice mail for the records officer there -- hopefully, they'll still have that data on file. Also on the plus side, the Santa Clara police said that something like 40% of stolen bikes get recovered.

Well that just sucks left and right. I hope they find the person responsible for all this thievery and pinch his 'nads between a chain and sprocket.
