The police give good advise and Jenny's post is right on target. What we need are laws that severly punish those doing these types of crimes, even if they are minors. A person shouldn't have to spend a fortune to protect his stuff. There is no reason criminals like this, once caught, aren't given 10 years in prison at hard labor, in spite of what those 9 misguided justices says in Washington.

here is a novel idea used by other law enforcement across the country. get a bike worth a felonious amount of money, put it in the back of a sting truck and when someone nabs it... BAM instant felony charges. It'll at least get them off the streets for a couple of weeks.
