Need info on theft

a) Get a job somewhere where they've got secure bike storage. I don't even have to lock my bike up at work (but I do anyway).
b) Get a knackered old racer from eBay for under a fiver and make it into a commuting fixed by spending under a tenner converting it to fixed.

Yeah, adn then hate the commute cos your hubs are shit and eating up a lot of your energy. but at to point A, yes. mine was finally stolen in NYC b/c my company wouldn't let me bring it inside and I didn't know to move it around from time to time. The real problem was that it was locked up for hours and at night, too.
