That's a fact Peter.. we had one stolen on the aire at Capbreton, almost brand new Trek mountain bike, it was secured using a steel wire hawser .. which I thought that would need an oxy / acetylene torch to cut through .. on another occasion the scum stole a saddle.. damn these quick release fittings.. and on a third occasion, a guy simply walked up, jumped on and drove off while my son was standing guard .. in broad daylight, outside Lidl in Roquetas, Spain.

My advice, leave your nice expensive cycles at home and take old rusty boot sale ones.. good bikes are just too attractive and the thief is watching, just waiting for you to relax your guard..
