Getting arrested doesn't seem to be a deterrent:

One man, two days, four bikes
initially i wanted to say hopefully the dog managed to chew the thief up a bit.
however, stuff like this is just a reflection of societal problems.
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

police need to take this guy into a private elevator and give him a fucking lifetimes worth of thrashings…
then put him back on a bus to quebec…:speakenglish:

Holy hell… Thats some seriously desperate shit.
now that guy is a career criminal .
I often wonder what a guy like that could have been capable of , if he hadn't chosen to go down "that" road .
even if there were the resources , could a guy like that be rehabbed ?

That's an interesting question. Smart or just opportunistic?
on the one hand I kinda think , " wow , that guy is a worker " , but then again maybe he's just a drug addicted individual who needs his next fix .

Looking at his pictures, I don't know if it's drug addiction. I think he just may be a d-bag fucktard of the low IQ variety.
Wrong. Always.
Piece of shit…
On a related note, what`s the current wisdom on bike locks? Wifey just got a new ~$1k hybrid commuter. It's in a secured (card access) bike room at work but she still locks it up. Her previous commuter was a piece of crap so she used a reasonably thick cable lock (http://www.mec.ca/product/5041-547/magnum-3011-armoured-key-cable-lock/?h=10+50038[HTML_REMOVED]f=10+50527).
I know locks are just a deterrent (and would never leave nice bikes outside), but do the ~$90 orange/black Kryptonite U-locks provide better security?
can't help ya with specifics gram' , but one rule of thumb :
make sure your bike ain't the easy one to rip off .
Grambo I have a similar situation. Lock my bike with Kryptonite like that and I lope a cable through it and around my rear wheel. Keep the lock and cable at work so I don't need to carry it around with me.
I dont trust locks, one of the best things is to make sure none of your components are quick release - I trust my bike to be safe at work (I still lock it), but downtown, I only ever ride my bike and lock it where I can keep an eye on it. Otherwise its in my bedroom and guarded by two dogs that would tear someone apart if they broke in.

Thanks, I've seen this combo a lot. Will need to convince the wife to do it. Also realized her new bike has QR on both wheels for some reason, argh. Not that it's hard to remove stuff with an allen key anyway.

If you don't have to carry the lock, I just buy a length of strong chain from Home Depot. I had a lock fail in the cold and it took me 15 minutes to cut it with an angle grinder.
