To ALL stolen bikes

I bought my mini-d from these guys:
http://www.cyclexpress.co.uk/products/New_York_Faghettaboudit_Mini.aspx

£49.50 for the Fahged Mini

http://www.cyclexpress.co.uk/Products/Evolution_Mini_Standard_Lock_With_Bracket.aspx

£26 for the Mini

It's almost the same as buying from the US and you get the warm fuzzy feeling from buying 'local'.

@Ed:

I followed your advice from one of the other threads about locks, and ordered the Mini Fug and Mini Evo from that site on Monday. The Fug's out of stock (of course), but I should receive it next week.

There's a row of bicycle parking U-shaped whatchamacallits opposite my office building. I'm thinking of setting up a webcam by the window, and writing some theft-detection software that will immediately flash a big red alert on my monitor and start recording if somebody's trying to nick my bike...

Incidentally, I've seen some websites selling security alarms for bikes. They're supposed to fit on the bottom side of the saddle, and if somebody moves the bike more than a certain distance (say, 1 m), the alarm will start making some loud unpleasant noises. Couldn't a thief solve that problem simply by smashing the alarm to smithereens, though?
