bcuz if someone wants it, they will usually get it

all of the above.

If someone wants something bad enough, nothing will stop them but you can do the very best to make their lives hell while they try to get it.

Get a really long plastic cable that you can "daisy chain" the 2 bikes together and then to soemthing else is possible. bottom line is that its REAL REAL hard to pick up 2 bikes at the same time. The Kryptonite thing still doesn't account for 2 dudes just picking up your single bike.

Something like this.

Then get a GOOD lock. Should run you at least $15.

Further if you have a motel style room on first floor. Take some fishing line with you. Put the bikes in front of the door. Run the string under the door and tie it to a lamp by the door. If the bike moves the lamp falls, you wake up. If you're me, you prepare theives the way they all should be... DEAD!

I like this one - definitely using this one next time I travel with the bike.
