It is not going to be sufficient at 4am on a Monday night on a residential street. Presumably, you speak from experience, or have statistics which make you think this? It's just that i've left my bike overnight in all sorts of places, quiet and otherwise, and it hasn't been nicked, and it sounds to me a little bit like you might be talking out of your arse. Number of cars stolen from me and my neighbours while parked in the street outside in the last ten years: 0 Number of bikes stolen from my neighbours while locked up in garden sheds and in back gardens in the last ten years: more than 0 It's reasonable to suppose that the number that would be stolen if left out on the street would be even more than 0. Given that I only care about where I live, yes, I *do* have statistics to back up my argument thankyouverymuch. Admittedly not a particularly large sample set, but it's bigger than the sample set that *you* have for *my* street, so I obviously know more of what I talk about than you do. Unless you're one of my neighbours using a pseudonym to post here. -- David Cantrell | Bourgeois reactionary pig Graecum est; non legitur |
