Ok, so here's the news....
I'm currently moving to a new apartment, and I just met my new neighbors today. The first thing each of them told me was, "Be careful in the rear parking lot. Car's have been broken into a few times." This was disheartening for me, because I had been really picky about finding a new place and security had been a big concern for me. Unfortunately, the landlord wasn't entirely honest....big surprise. Anyways, here's my dilemma....how do I keep my bike safe? I've ordered a bike lock with alarm (link) and I already have a cover. I'm thinking it'll be safer to park it in front of the building where it'll be more visible and hopefully that will deter thieves/vandals. Do any of you guys have experience with situations like this? Suggestions/opinions/advice gladly accepted. I'm going to call my insurance agent tomorrow and have the deductable on my bike dropped as low as it can go (just in case).
