Last one I had that was stolen, it was a long time ago (haven't had a bike for years though) while I was on the job, as a bike courrier. I'd suggest a crappy bike too, if you want to keep it for any lenght of time. Or maybe one of those locks that comes with a garantee for a new bike. @John, I don’t think the thief is going to keep that bike very long.

Maybe it only happens once per country! It seems I have a choice, buy a nice bike that's comfortable to ride and risk it being stolen or buy a crappy, ugly, uncomfortable bike that thieves won't be interested in.

It always seems to happen either on the first day of bike season or the week you purchase the new bike, as happened to my brother. Dude, that sucks.

Is this your first bike theft? The rule in Montreal is that you'll get it stolen once. I'm hoping this is true, because I like my current bike. My last one was stolen off the street (I had a feeling) but the thieves were kind enough to leave me my snipped lock, how sweet. I wished Syphilis on them. Oh crap. Is this your first bike theft?
