I have two front lights - one that I remove when I lock up the bike and one old one that is a massive faff to get on and off so I don't bother.
Locked up the bike outside a pub in Holborn this evening and came out for some air mid-way through the night to find a man with a tattered old Ken bike (possibly a homeless bloke who's taken ownership) nicking my old front light. I'm not hugely fussed, but I confront him... At which point he gives me the light back and tries to sell me a can of lager out of the Ken bike's front rack.
Almost took him up on the offer, but not quite.
Moved the bike to another location where I could fit the back wheel into the mini D-lock that I was using.
