Public service announcement: My Brooks was taken in Shoreditch (yep!) last night. I'd 'secured' it with an old chain. Was persumably taken by someone with a multi tool as they made a clean job of it (even took the bit of chain) and unbolted it from the post. Can't help thinking it was another cyclist doing some 'personal shopping' which somehow angers me more.
So don't use a chain kids... it won't work. A cable at least needs cutting with bolt croppers. Or as Nhatt has pointed out on the Brooks joblot thread, glue ball bearings into the key holes.
