I saw this video online on how to keep your bike from being stolen: www.videojug.com/film/how-to-stop-your-bike-being-stolen It is British, but these tips are universal. It’s pretty much what your e-mails have been saying over and over again, but obviously you can’t say it enough. Just thought you’d want to see that in case you want to share with the rest of the campus watch community.
