Getting fed up with this thread, not to mention the "ways not to lock your bike" thread... While only a fraction of people having had their bike stolen will bother to post here, I still find the number of stolen bikes really upsetting. And yes, of course you should take reasonable precautions, but between us, it is almost like we accept, that if you didn't cement your bike to the floor, really you were asking for it.
Needless to say I would never encourage or condole violence in any shape or form, but sometimes I secretly fantasise about catching a bike thief in act and hurting them in ways so horrible that even nazi KZ camp officers would turn their head in disgust.
