Hi Martin,
I think everybody can give such examples like yours . If somebody really
wants to steel your bike no matter how you protect it he will do it.
Disc locks and other stuffs are only to dissuade these kind of people. If
you leave your bike on the street you take every bits of chance to protect
it.
