Cheers Camden Strangler, I do accept the tone of your reply and your message but there's nothing like being kicked when you are down eh? You are right of course, only last week I thought "I must write the frame no down" and I didn't do it, I am clearly a muppet and deserved all that I got!
Well ... to an extent, finding fault with oneself is of course right, but why should you take all the blame? I certainly don't think you deserved to have your bike stolen just because you didn't use the best lock or didn't take all sorts of other precautions. We still have to keep it in perspective that theft of bikes isn't a law of nature, but something that is done by people who are responsible for their actions and who should take most of the blame.
