Bicycle thievery is an epidemic, sometimes preventable, sometimes not. It's the crappiest feeling
Things to think about when locking your bike:
1. Starting with the lock itself, U-Locks are tested to be the much more reliable than the bendy ones.
2. Check the structure you are locking to! (Skinny trees, removable stop signs, anticipatory loose-screwed structures, etc.)
3. Check location (Back alleys/ghetto 'hoods)
4. If you lock your bike while you work in the same spot for 8 hours every day, people notice, and things start getting stripped. Keep things fresh, or where there are usually a couple pairs of eyes around.
5. Lock around tire and frame if possible, both tires and frame if quick-release. Never just the tire itself.
