I leave my bike at at a rail station and recently had the seat stolen. Hard to believe that
someone is so desperate...or more likely a kind of vandalism. I thought I was ahead of the game by
using an allen key to secure the seat post (instead of those useless release things) however the
thief came prepared-but couldn't get the seat post out. So he used the allen key to get the seat
off its mounting.
Now I've put a large jubilee clip around the allen bolt on the seat and plan to hacksaw the
screwhead off. The seat post I bought one of those bolts with a combination needing its own special
tool. I also now lock both wheels to the frame.
Bikes seem to be more vulnerable to this kind of thing. Anyone else have similar experiences or
preventitive measures?
