    That article is hilarious! I loved the last part about "you have to
    see it to believe it!" And I almost wet myself looking at those last
    pictures!

  6. Looks like what I did while working in Hartford CT for
    6 months back in 95. During a freezing rain storm I had to blow on the
    lock key holes to melt the ice to insert the keys. A USPS box makes a
    nice locking fixture.

    Winters are brutal in Conn. my lock holes used to freeze up especially after
    driving into Hartford on I-95 with that cross-wind action.

  9. Someone on my local ride list posted a link to a short film showing guys
    overtly stealing THEIR OWN bikes in NYC, and no one questioned them. (One
    guy at end even helps!) They used hack saws, cable cutters, even a friggin'
    TORCH, and the police vehicle drove right by...

    If you like your bike, then never leave it out of your sight for longer than
    :38 secs...

    Lol .... I was going to say it's not surprising on the streets of NY, but
    the truth be told, I could probably get away with the same here in in L.A.

    Oh yeah, that's right I did get away with breaking into a gas station
    (many years ago) in the middle of the night. A police car even pulled into
    the parking lot to ask my what I was doing. After a 15 minute
    conversation, with tools, oil and radiator hoses from the gas station
    sprawled all over the ground, the police officers wished me luck and drove
    off :-)
