What is the best way to prevent a bike from being stolen? Seriously, I mean, a wheel lock yeah, but if you get 3 men to lift that bitch in the back of a truck, then it's gone. An alarm only makes sound, and might alert the owner. But, if you have some big ass men that can lift the bike, and be out of there in a couple minutes before anything can be done. What the hell is there to do, to prevent a(your) bike from being stolen? Putting a chain from the bike tire to a pole wouldn't do much either. Lock cutters are easy to get ahold of. Is it basically based on luck or what?
