[NMCycling] Stolen bike question

[Diane Albert via Bike-racers]

I have had 3 bikes stolen in ABQ.  Two from my stupidity leaving my garage door open overnight, in 2006, near NE ABQ.  The third was from a bike rack outside the UNM LAW School front entrance.  I used a cable, stupidly, which was clearly snapped with ease.

Forgot and left the garage door up?
