The answer is to have a shitty bike with a good lock, been using a $200 beater for 4 years and it still got everything except the saddle got stolen once

why not get an ugly girlfriend, too? then you don't have to worry about her cheating on you, right?

Some people have no sense of humor. Thanks for the laugh.

>who steals chains??? - apparently the thief had a chain tool handy to break the chain).

Reusable joining link? No tools required. As to the point of doing it, well, I had the QR skewers stolen off my bike once. Stealing a chain makes at least as much sense.

The solution to having components stolen is being made by a British company at the moment in co-operation with Royce: http://atomic22.co.uk/

They have a Pitlock solution, but it works for everything from Saddle down to chain rings. With 1 key doing the whole bike.
