I have a one man bicycle shop in my yard, but also lots of neighbors and we all look out for each other. Would-be catalytic converter thieves have been caught before they could do any damage. I've lost a couple of bikes over the years, but gotten two of the three expensive ones back. <knock wood> I know I've been lucky.
Immigrants buy refurbished used bikes from be because I'm reasonable in rate and my 18 years in business reputation is excellent. FWIW, every time I've been hit, it's been a white boy whose meth habit keeps him local. Jussayin'.
