IMHO this is what people generally do, and it results in a colder world. Tighter, tougher, more suspicious.
What would be nice is if folks would instead become looser, understand and accept.

Right On!

Thieves are like the parasitic worms (that they are) that make the
general resistance of the body stronger. When you take a theft hit, you
tighten up, strengthen yourself, your resolve, and take more steps that
it doesn't happen again.

Whatever "improvements" they may force us to take, make, I
hate'em anyway!

&gt; would they?  They have their station in life.  Down low.  They fulfill

&gt;&gt; Stealing is a bad thing all around, but stealing a custom bike,
that's
&gt;&gt; just asking for instant karma in the form of a serious wreck....  Same
&gt;&gt; thing with climbing and kayaking gear.
&gt;&gt; The gods don't take kindly to that stuff.   Then again it might be
&gt;&gt; another form of natural selection!

&gt;&gt;&gt; I know the feeling.  I was roused by an alarm call from my
workplace at
&gt;&gt;&gt; oh-dark-thirty one morning and the cops had collared the guy who
was one of
&gt;&gt;&gt; our customers.  He'd broken in to steal a custom bike on
display and the
&gt;&gt;&gt; kicker here is that I had stayed after hours on a recent Saturday
helping
&gt;&gt;&gt; him with parts he "had to have" in order to be ready for
some event.  Glad
&gt;&gt;&gt; you got off so lightly.
