davis_squareAs a warning, bike thieves are afoot.
Someone, I'm assuming two people, broke into our screened porch on Day St last night between 1am and 8am and stole two mountain bikes. Considering they moved my new hybrid out of the way to get to the two old, scratched up mountain bikes it was leaning against, I'm betting the thieves were either idiots or very savvy, as my bike was the only one that was registered.
Police was notified and unsurprised.
Figured I should tell you guys to keep a vigilant eye out for assholes.

Sheldon Brown wrote a great article on lock strategy (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/lock-strategy.html), worth reading if you ride.
