Haha, fair fair. I do worry about the bike some, but I use a gnarly fahgettaboudit U-lock and I certainly do not leave it in the same place each day. I'd be happy to talk about the theory and practice of this, but perhaps a different thread is in order =).
Back to the point at hand, I'm more worried about components disappearing than the whole bike. The front wheel is pit-locked, but I'd love to hear suggestions on how to secure the light itself. Assuming no one replies with a light, I'm thinking of getting the B&M 'Lumotec Eyc T Senso Plus'.
