I lay a bait whenever i run into someplace for food. I am always sitting within eye shot of the bike. I usually take the skewers out or pop the brakes of (not fixed), and there are a few things that need to be done before it can safely ride. but no matter what I do I always hold something heavy and swing-able bye my side.<br />
I lock it for any other occasion, but usually I don't leave my bike outside anyways, so.

I had a well-used $120 MTB from Target stolen from the train station when I left it locked up for a few hours and some lucky jerk leaves a new Trek locked up for a week without it rolling off?

CPS should lock up a Cervélo S3 with one of those dinky combination-lock cables and station a sniper on the rooftop across the street. Anyone starts messing with the lock and "BAM!", one fewer bicycle thief. I have more suggestions if anyone is interested.
