When I came out I found that someone had wanted my hubs (Campagnolo) and had cut all my spokes on both wheels to take them. He/she/it had also taken my platform pedals and my rear derailleur by the time someone apparently appeared and frightened him/her/it away. The chain was locked through the frame and both wheels, and did no good at all. I now carry a simple cable and padlock. I also don't live in California anymore (thought that was not the primary reason). Dave Rabinowitz hplabs!hp-pcd!daver
