No I never think of stealing gear from anyone...just don't.

I rarely leave gear on a bike unattended...just don't trust people much.

Whew,I thought I was the only one here. Heck,I leave my bike key in the ignition,the helmet on the mirror and my gloves sitting on my radar detector in the parking lot of my apts all the time. I've never had any gear stolen in my life...seriously,none. Shit the only bike related theft I've ever had was when my 95 FZR1000 (the replacement) was stolen from the dealer when it was in for a repair (POS) while I was getting one of my hand surgeries to repair the track wreck damage.

I never really leave my stuff on my bike for extended periods of time unless I am close by. I would kill someone for putting gum in my helmet.

thieves deserve to die a slow, painful death.

So no, never.

It's never even crossed my mind. If I wanted someone's gear I'd wave some cash at them. As for my gear, if the situation warrants it I'll leave it on the bike, which really doesn't matter because I don't have locking saddlebags. I'm not afraid of anything gwetting stolen but I take the key with me just to make sure I didn't leave it on and drain my battery. If somoen wants to steal the whole bike a couple three guys could do it. But let me catch you stealing my bike or something on it. Seriously, let me catch you. I promise you'll never do it again.

Not that I ever really considered it before, but after someone stole my gear out of my house, I know how much it sucks.

I had a helmet stolen while it was on my helmet lock. The thief cut the d ring off and left it there.

I don't leave shit on my bike at all.
