was talking to a security dude at QUT today and learned that almost all of the bikes stolen have been locked with good quality cable locks.
the ONLY way to keep hold of your bike if you lock it up somewhere is with at least one good quality D lock.
pretty much any cable lock can be cut with a little bit of effort and only a couple of minutes without someone around.
also remember to put the lock thru the discs of the wheels when you lock it so they can't steal the discs.
so don't take a chance. as annoying as D's are, they are the only real protection you have.
on a related note, the Qld Police used to have a service where you could get items engraved with a rego #, and that # is registered with them. you got little stickers to put on the stuff. if they still do that, it's worth looking into.
