    various locks being busted

    The locks that open with a BIC pen were recalled
    at least the Kryptonite ones were, and replaced with
    a different key structure.

    but
    Basically if someone wants your bike bad enough you
    are screwed.

    Get lojack and insurance !

    The moral of the story is make sure you paid your insurance premiums?

    Isn't the whole pen thing ancient history by now?

    I figure that a lock is only a derterant for the would be theifs, omiting whimsical theft. If they are specifically targeting and want my shit, they are going to get it.

    Same reason I don't lock my house. If the theif wants in, he/she is getting in if the door is locked or not.

    yea. recently dealing with this issue, I realized how stupid it was to attempt to secure a house with glass windows.

    Yeah, cutting a chain with a mechanized cutter is
    even easier I hear. Depressing.

    So much for the $100 I just spent to replaced a cable/lock I used to
    have. I left my cable and lock around a tree and some "neighbor"
    musta not liked it as after a few days it was gone but the tree
    was still there !

    Now I have a kryptonite NYC chain but it weighs a friggin ton !
    Which sucks given how apparently easy they are to cut.

    Hey Jane, where's your house ?

    Yep, if someone REALLY wants in, they're goin' in. A locked door will keep an honest person honest though.

    I think locking the house is more for personal safety than home security; you're not likely to walk in on a burgular if you see the front door busted in.

    On a related note, does anyone know the percentage of bikes with lojack that are never recovered? I looked online but couldn't find the answer.

    I believe it is in the realm of 20%, but I don't quote me on that.
